# Artykul vs Bulletin

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Artykul at 80% against Bulletin's 42%. Artykul also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Bulletin's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (185 vs 11). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Artykul sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Bulletin sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Artykul holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bulletin has 185 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Artykul's written reviews are positive against 42% of Bulletin's.

Artykul ships an update every 3 months, Bulletin every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
