Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Aroma360® at 4.6 against BITS Marketplace's 4.0. Aroma360® also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (138 vs 1). BITS Marketplace's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Aroma360® holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aroma360® has 138 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of BITS Marketplace's written reviews are positive against 75% of Aroma360®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BITS Marketplace ships an update every 5 months, Aroma360® every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
