Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
NBL holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Mt Buller Live's written reviews are positive against 31% of NBL's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mt Buller Live ships an update weekly, NBL fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
