Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Decim8 at weekly against Bluristic's every 2 months. Decim8 also leads on price ($0.99 vs $4.99) and ratings volume (149 vs 22). Bluristic's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 52%) and chart position (#79 vs unranked). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Decim8 costs $0.99 and Bluristic $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Decim8 holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Decim8 has 149 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Decim8's written reviews are positive against 74% of Bluristic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Decim8 ships an update weekly, Bluristic every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
