# FAAwait vs Boondocking

The clearest difference is rating: Boondocking at 4.6 against FAAwait's 4.1. Boondocking also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (9.5K vs 37). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

FAAwait costs $0.99 and Boondocking $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Boondocking holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boondocking has 9.5K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of FAAwait's written reviews are positive against 51% of Boondocking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FAAwait ships an update every 10 months, Boondocking every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
