# Cuarenta vs AD Boy

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AD Boy at none against Cuarenta's 1. AD Boy also leads on rating (3.6 vs 3.2) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Cuarenta's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cuarenta sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. AD Boy asks for nothing beyond the download.

AD Boy holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AD Boy has 313 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Cuarenta's written reviews are positive against 53% of AD Boy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cuarenta ships an update every 4 months, AD Boy monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
