# Cargo vs Boo!

The clearest difference is rating: Boo! at 4.8 against Cargo's 3.6. Boo! also leads on update cadence (every 5 months vs every 30 months) and review sentiment (96% vs 84%). Cargo's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boo! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Cargo asks for nothing beyond the download.

Boo! holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boo! has 199 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Cargo's written reviews are positive against 96% of Boo!'s.

Cargo ships an update every 30 months, Boo! every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
