Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BF Home at 38% against BFOUR+'s 0%. BF Home also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
BFOUR+ holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BF Home has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of BF Home's written reviews are positive against 0% of BFOUR+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BF Home ships an update every 2 months, BFOUR+ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and July 3, 2026 respectively.
