# Blind vs Principal AI

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Principal AI at none against Blind's 13. Principal AI also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Blind's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 3) and chart position (#82 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blind sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Principal AI asks for nothing beyond the download.

Principal AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blind has 14K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Blind ships an update every 2 weeks, Principal AI every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
