# Battery HD+ vs Status Bartender

The clearest difference is rating: Battery HD+ at 4.5 against Status Bartender's 3.0. Battery HD+ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 1). Status Bartender's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Status Bartender sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Battery HD+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Battery HD+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Battery HD+ has 2.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Battery HD+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Status Bartender's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Battery HD+ ships an update every 2 months, Status Bartender every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
