# BurnBar vs LeanBites

BurnBar and LeanBites both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of BurnBar's written reviews are positive against 17% of LeanBites's. BurnBar also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). LeanBites's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BurnBar sells 33 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days and LeanBites sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BurnBar holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LeanBites has 4.1K ratings behind it against 437, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of BurnBar's written reviews are positive against 17% of LeanBites's.

BurnBar ships an update every 3 days, LeanBites weekly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
