Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Endless A at none against Bongos's 1. Endless A also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.5 vs 3.3). Bongos's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 50%) and ratings volume (24 vs 4). On price and device support 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
Both are free to download. Bongos sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Endless A asks for nothing beyond the download.
Endless A holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bongos has 24 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Bongos's written reviews are positive against 50% of Endless A's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bongos ships an update every 2 months, Endless A every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
