Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Booeys at free against Cargo's paid. Booeys also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.6) and update cadence (every 9 months vs every 30 months). Cargo's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 75%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases 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

Booeys holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Cargo's written reviews are positive against 75% of Booeys's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cargo ships an update every 30 months, Booeys every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
