# Buddy vs Splitall

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Splitall at 100% against Buddy's 49%. Splitall also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Buddy's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buddy sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Splitall sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Buddy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buddy has 9.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Buddy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Splitall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Buddy ships an update every 9 days, Splitall every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
