# VictronConnect vs BlueFire Apps

The clearest difference is rating: BlueFire Apps at 3.6 against VictronConnect's 3.3. BlueFire Apps also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). VictronConnect's advantage is ratings volume (291 vs 20) and review sentiment (43% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

BlueFire Apps holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VictronConnect has 291 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of VictronConnect's written reviews are positive against 33% of BlueFire Apps's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

VictronConnect ships an update monthly, BlueFire Apps every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
