# Patreon vs RMPtv

The clearest difference is monetization model: RMPtv at free against Patreon's free with in-app purchases. RMPtv also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Patreon's advantage is ratings volume (582K vs 1) and chart position (#32 vs unranked). On price, rating, 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Patreon against 5.0 for RMPtv. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Patreon has 582K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
