# BlindBuddy vs Inshore

The clearest difference is rating: Inshore at 5.0 against BlindBuddy's 4.2. BlindBuddy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BlindBuddy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $89.99 per year and Inshore sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Inshore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BlindBuddy has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

BlindBuddy ships an update every 3 days, Inshore every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
