# Bashas' vs American Youth App

The clearest difference is rating: Bashas' at 4.6 against American Youth App's 4.2. Bashas' also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 27). American Youth App's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, 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.

Bashas' holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bashas' has 10K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Bashas''s written reviews are positive against 25% of American Youth App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bashas' ships an update every 2 months, American Youth App every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
