Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
theCHIVE is free to download; GetBacon costs $5.99 up front. theCHIVE sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. GetBacon asks for nothing beyond the download.
theCHIVE holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: theCHIVE has 168K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of GetBacon's written reviews are positive against 21% of theCHIVE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
