Both are free to download. Bacon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Appeared asks for nothing beyond the download.
Bacon holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bacon has 201K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Appeared's written reviews are positive against 85% of Bacon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Appeared ships an update every 11 months, Bacon every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
