# BARFLi vs WhichBar

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WhichBar at none against BARFLi's 7. WhichBar also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (27 vs 5). BARFLi's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BARFLi sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month. WhichBar asks for nothing beyond the download.

BARFLi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
