# Cinemeet vs Bar Bump

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bar Bump at 100% against Cinemeet's 50%. Bar Bump also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0). Cinemeet's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cinemeet sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Bar Bump sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
