# Congress Pro vs BillBlaster

The clearest difference is price: BillBlaster at Free against Congress Pro's $9.99. BillBlaster also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Congress Pro's advantage is chart position (#194 vs unranked). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

BillBlaster is free to download; Congress Pro costs $9.99 up front. Congress Pro sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. BillBlaster asks for nothing beyond the download.

BillBlaster holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BillBlaster has 156 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Congress Pro's written reviews are positive against 76% of BillBlaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Congress Pro ships an update monthly, BillBlaster weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
