Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sprout at 100% against BiggerPockets's 58%. Sprout also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). BiggerPockets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BiggerPockets sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per month and Sprout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
