# Faxo vs Bold Text

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Faxo at 80% against Bold Text's 25%. Faxo also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Faxo sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Bold Text sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Faxo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Faxo has 1.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Faxo's written reviews are positive against 25% of Bold Text's.

Faxo ships an update every 2 days, Bold Text every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
