# BlindBuddy vs Shotzero

The clearest difference is rating: Shotzero at 5.0 against BlindBuddy's 4.2. Shotzero also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%). BlindBuddy's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) 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 Shotzero sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shotzero 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. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of BlindBuddy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Shotzero's.
