# Bound vs Bound

The clearest difference is rating: Bound at 5.0 against Bound's 4.0. Bound also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bound sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Bound sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bound holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bound has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Bound ships an update every 5 weeks, Bound monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
