# BART Watch vs ALSO.

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BART Watch at 34% against ALSO.'s 0%. BART Watch also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 9) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). ALSO.'s advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ALSO. holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BART Watch has 2.8K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of BART Watch's written reviews are positive against 0% of ALSO.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BART Watch ships an update every 3 months, ALSO. every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
