Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Friendship Bracelets at 4.0 against StandBy's 3.3. Friendship Bracelets also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 44) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). StandBy's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 48%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Friendship Bracelets sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and StandBy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Friendship Bracelets holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Friendship Bracelets has 2.1K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Friendship Bracelets's written reviews are positive against 60% of StandBy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Friendship Bracelets ships an update every 9 days, StandBy every 8 days. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
