# WikEM vs Bullets*

The clearest difference is rating: WikEM at 4.8 against Bullets*'s 4.0. WikEM also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 61). Bullets*'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (68% vs 54%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WikEM sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Bullets* asks for nothing beyond the download.

WikEM holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WikEM has 4.7K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of WikEM's written reviews are positive against 68% of Bullets*'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WikEM ships an update every 5 days, Bullets* every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
