# Google vs Bitmoji

The clearest difference is rating: Google at 4.6 against Bitmoji's 4.0. Google also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 21%) and ratings volume (5.1M vs 108K). Bitmoji's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 37) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month. Bitmoji asks for nothing beyond the download.

Google holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google has 5.1M ratings behind it against 108K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Google's written reviews are positive against 21% of Bitmoji's.

Google ships an update every 5 days, Bitmoji fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
