# NoBudge vs Watch Cpics

The clearest difference is ads: NoBudge at none against Watch Cpics's shown. NoBudge also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 3). Watch Cpics's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NoBudge sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Watch Cpics sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for NoBudge against 5.0 for Watch Cpics. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NoBudge has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

NoBudge ships an update every 3 months, Watch Cpics every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
