# Withings vs BCBSNM

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BCBSNM at none against Withings's 3. BCBSNM also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Withings's advantage is ratings volume (364K vs 1.4K) and chart position (#81 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Withings against 4.6 for BCBSNM. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Withings has 364K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 25% of Withings's written reviews are positive against 21% of BCBSNM's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
