# LBCI Lebanon vs Al Jadeed

The clearest difference is rating: LBCI Lebanon at 4.3 against Al Jadeed's 3.2. LBCI Lebanon also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 81). Al Jadeed's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (28% vs 18%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LBCI Lebanon sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per 3 months and Al Jadeed sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LBCI Lebanon holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LBCI Lebanon has 1.2K ratings behind it against 81, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of LBCI Lebanon's written reviews are positive against 28% of Al Jadeed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LBCI Lebanon ships an update every 9 days, Al Jadeed fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
