# PathGroup Mobile vs BCBSTN

The clearest difference is rating: BCBSTN at 2.4 against PathGroup Mobile's 1.5. BCBSTN also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 30 months) and chart position (#201 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

BCBSTN holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BCBSTN has 374 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of PathGroup Mobile's written reviews are positive against 14% of BCBSTN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PathGroup Mobile ships an update every 30 months, BCBSTN every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
