# bSafe vs Bond

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bond at 88% against bSafe's 33%. Bond also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). bSafe's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. bSafe sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days. Bond asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bond holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bond has 1.1K ratings behind it against 208, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of bSafe's written reviews are positive against 88% of Bond's.

bSafe ships an update every 3 weeks, Bond every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
