Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fanity at 100% against Broadway.com's 38%. Fanity also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Broadway.com's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Broadway.com holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Broadway.com has 2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Broadway.com's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fanity's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Broadway.com ships an update every 2 months, Fanity every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
