# Byki Mobile vs Luwi

The clearest difference is rating: Luwi at 5.0 against Byki Mobile's 2.5. Luwi also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Byki Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Byki Mobile sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Luwi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Luwi holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Byki Mobile has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of Byki Mobile's written reviews are positive against 50% of Luwi's.

Byki Mobile ships an update every 5 months, Luwi every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on June 3, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
