Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Boba Bliss holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boba Bliss has 943 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Boba Bliss's written reviews are positive against 100% of SlugDining's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Boba Bliss ships an update every 5 weeks, SlugDining every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
