Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WhatPlus at none against b.stage's 22. WhatPlus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). b.stage's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. b.stage sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $4.00 per month. WhatPlus asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.4 for b.stage against 3.3 for WhatPlus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: b.stage has 48 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 39% of b.stage's written reviews are positive against 33% of WhatPlus's.
b.stage ships an update every 3 weeks, WhatPlus every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
