# Genesis vs BSB Generator

Genesis and BSB Generator both sit at 3.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 58% of Genesis's written reviews are positive against 20% of BSB Generator's. Genesis also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (281 vs 67). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Genesis sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and BSB Generator sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BSB Generator holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 281 and 67 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Genesis's written reviews are positive against 20% of BSB Generator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Genesis ships an update every 3 weeks, BSB Generator every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
