# MyBonds vs CD Check

The clearest difference is rating: CD Check at 5.0 against MyBonds's 3.5. CD Check also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and price ($0.99 vs $2.99). MyBonds's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

MyBonds costs $2.99 and CD Check $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

CD Check holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyBonds has 55 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of MyBonds's written reviews are positive against 100% of CD Check's.

MyBonds ships an update every 3 months, CD Check every 7 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
