# been vs been

The clearest difference is review sentiment: been at 77% against been's 29%. been also leads on ratings volume (162 vs 15). been's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. been sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and been sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

been holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: been has 162 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of been's written reviews are positive against 77% of been's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

been ships an update every 3 days, been every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
