# Pay vs Sight Bulb

The clearest difference is ads: Pay at none against Sight Bulb's shown. Pay also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Sight Bulb's advantage is rating (2.8 vs 2.4) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Sight Bulb holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28 and 123 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Pay's written reviews are positive against 10% of Sight Bulb's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pay ships an update every 2 months, Sight Bulb every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 4, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
