# Blip Blup vs supertype

The clearest difference is rating: supertype at 4.8 against Blip Blup's 4.3. supertype also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 42) and chart position (#12 vs #199). Blip Blup's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Blip Blup costs $1.99 and supertype $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

supertype holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: supertype has 5.2K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Blip Blup's written reviews are positive against 74% of supertype'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 every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 2, 2026.
