Bilosof turns general knowledge into a competition. LEAGUES Join a league and answer a handful of questions every day inside a fixed time window. Points accumulate across the week, the standings update live, and the top players take the prizes. Leagues run per category or across everything. LIVE MATCHES Create a room, share the PIN and play against friends in real time. Everyone sees the same question at the same moment; faster correct answers score more. Up to 200 players in one room. DUELS Challenge one person head to head. Both of you answer the same set, and the head-to-head record is kept for every rival you meet. PRACTICE Over thousands questions across 43 categories - history, science, sport, cinema, music, geography, art and more. Every quiz holds far more questions than a single round uses, so repeats are rare. Each answer comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer still teaches you something. CREATE YOUR OWN Write your own quiz, add images, publish it and watch other people play it. SOCIAL Follow players, share results, post to your profile, form teams and run your team's own newspaper and votes. SIX LANGUAGES Azerbaijani, English, Turkish, Russian, Uzbek and Spanish - including the questions themselves, not just the interface. You can switch at any time, right from the first screen. ENERGY Playing spends energy. You can also watch a short ad for extra energy, buy a pack, or subscribe for a monthly top-up. Free to play. Optional purchases. SUBSCRIPTIONS Bilosof offers two optional auto-renewable monthly subscriptions: 200 Energy Monthly (200 energy added to your balance every month) and Unlimited Energy (no action costs energy while active). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iSheffield at none against Bilosof's 4. iSheffield also leads on ads (none vs shown). Bilosof's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
