# Bloom Young vs Bold

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bloom Young at none against Bold's 3. Bold's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 39) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bold sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Bloom Young asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Bloom Young against 4.8 for Bold. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bold has 12K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Bloom Young's written reviews are positive against 96% of Bold's.

Bloom Young ships an update fortnightly, Bold every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
