# Blip Blup vs Boxville

The clearest difference is rating: Boxville at 4.7 against Blip Blup's 4.3. Boxville also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (772 vs 43). Blip Blup's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.

Blip Blup costs $1.99 and Boxville $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Boxville holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boxville has 772 ratings behind it against 43, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Blip Blup's written reviews are positive against 78% of Boxville's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Blip Blup ships an update every 2 months, Boxville every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
