# 4shared Mobile vs BBA Connect

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BBA Connect at 100% against 4shared Mobile's 54%. BBA Connect also leads on ads (none vs shown). 4shared Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 5) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 4shared Mobile sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and BBA Connect sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

4shared Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 4shared Mobile has 1.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of 4shared Mobile's written reviews are positive against 100% of BBA Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
