# BIMOBIMO vs ICK

The clearest difference is monetization model: BIMOBIMO at free with in-app purchases against ICK's subscription. BIMOBIMO also leads on ratings volume (5.5K vs 10). ICK's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BIMOBIMO sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and ICK sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for BIMOBIMO against 5.0 for ICK. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BIMOBIMO has 5.5K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.

BIMOBIMO ships an update every 10 days, ICK every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
