# Geonection vs MixerBox BFF

The clearest difference is rating: MixerBox BFF at 4.9 against Geonection's 4.4. MixerBox BFF also leads on ratings volume (7.2K vs 233) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Geonection sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and MixerBox BFF sells 34 in-app purchases, starting at $1.00 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
