# Git client vs Buildio

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Buildio at none against Git client's 17. Buildio also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). Git client's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Git client sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Buildio asks for nothing beyond the download.

Buildio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Git client has 3.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Git client's written reviews are positive against 100% of Buildio's.

Git client ships an update every 9 days, Buildio every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
