# BRBNFNDR vs Bourbonator

The clearest difference is update cadence: Bourbonator at daily against BRBNFNDR's every 5 days. BRBNFNDR's advantage is ratings volume (62 vs 1) and chart position (#150 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BRBNFNDR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Bourbonator sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for BRBNFNDR against 5.0 for Bourbonator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BRBNFNDR has 62 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

BRBNFNDR ships an update every 5 days, Bourbonator daily. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
