# Fun Bridge vs BBO Trainer

The clearest difference is monetization model: BBO Trainer at free with in-app purchases against Fun Bridge's subscription. BBO Trainer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Fun Bridge's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 460) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). 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 BBO Trainer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Fun Bridge against 4.7 for BBO Trainer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fun Bridge has 14K ratings behind it against 460, 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 56% of BBO Trainer's.

Fun Bridge ships an update every 10 days, BBO Trainer monthly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
