Join over 170,000 avid players on the most loved bridge app in the world! Play online bridge, learn the game and progress at your own pace. With Funbridge, enjoy playing duplicate or multiplayer bridge anywhere, anytime! Bridge is an exciting card game played by four players in two teams of two called “partnerships”. The bridge partners sit opposite each other at a table. The game of bridge consists of a number of “deals” (also “boards” or “hands”) and involves two stages: there is an “auction” (also called “bidding”) to determine the contract to be made, and then the “card play” where you must reach the goal set. On Funbridge, you play in South, whereas North, East and West are played by a specialized artificial intelligence, the same for all players. So, you don’t need to wait for other players to play bridge. The AI is available 24/7 to allow you to play bridge whenever you want. You can also play multiplayer bridge with your bridge friends or players from all over the world. Funbridge offers a unique game experience by enabling all players to play the same bridge deals. The objective is simple: score the highest and compare yourself to other bridge players in dedicated rankings. Whether you’re a beginner, back to the game or an expert, Funbridge is here to help you while you progress in bridge.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Piccolo at free with in-app purchases against Fun Bridge's subscription. Piccolo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). Fun Bridge's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 603) and chart position (#184 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fun Bridge sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and Piccolo sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Fun Bridge against 4.7 for Piccolo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fun Bridge has 14K ratings behind it against 603, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of Fun Bridge's written reviews are positive against 77% of Piccolo's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fun Bridge ships an update every 10 days, Piccolo every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
