# Planoly vs ThrowBaks

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ThrowBaks at none against Planoly's 10. ThrowBaks also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Planoly's advantage is ratings volume (27K vs 2) and chart position (#192 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planoly sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per month. ThrowBaks asks for nothing beyond the download.
