# Boean vs Groundwell

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Groundwell at 100% against Boean's 33%. Groundwell also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Boean's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (107 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Boean sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Groundwell sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Groundwell holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boean has 107 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Boean's written reviews are positive against 100% of Groundwell's.

Boean ships an update fortnightly, Groundwell every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
