# Bainu vs YuBa

The clearest difference is rating: Bainu at 4.4 against YuBa's 3.3. YuBa's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (90% vs 65%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bainu sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and YuBa sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bainu holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 62 and 26 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Bainu's written reviews are positive against 90% of YuBa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bainu ships an update fortnightly, YuBa every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
