Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. been sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and been sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for been against 4.6 for been. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: been has 9.3K ratings behind it against 690, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of been's written reviews are positive against 47% of been's.
been ships an update every 2 weeks, been every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
