# Bored vs Partywheel

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bored at 100% against Partywheel's 50%. Bored also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.2) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Partywheel's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bored sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Partywheel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bored holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Partywheel has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Bored's written reviews are positive against 50% of Partywheel's.

Bored ships an update every 6 months, Partywheel monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
