# Withings vs BCBSTX

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BCBSTX at none against Withings's 3. BCBSTX also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Withings's advantage is ratings volume (364K vs 41K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Withings sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. BCBSTX asks for nothing beyond the download.

BCBSTX holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Withings has 364K ratings behind it against 41K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Withings's written reviews are positive against 23% of BCBSTX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
