# Boon! vs Umiibo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Boon! at 100% against Umiibo's 43%. Boon! also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Umiibo's advantage is ratings volume (110 vs 18) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boon! sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Umiibo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Boon! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Umiibo has 110 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Boon!'s written reviews are positive against 43% of Umiibo's.

Boon! ships an update every 9 days, Umiibo fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
