# Nelko vs BOYACARE

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BOYACARE at none against Nelko's 8. Nelko's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (22K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nelko sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. BOYACARE asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Nelko against 5.0 for BOYACARE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nelko has 22K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Nelko ships an update every 8 days, BOYACARE every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
