# Público vs Bocadurna

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bocadurna at 100% against Público's 22%. Bocadurna also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). Público's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Público sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Bocadurna asks for nothing beyond the download.

Público holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 51 and 25 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Público's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bocadurna's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Público ships an update every 2 months, Bocadurna every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 11, 2026 respectively.
