# Phoner vs AssetHelm

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AssetHelm at 100% against Phoner's 50%. AssetHelm also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Phoner's advantage is ratings volume (35K vs 2) and chart position (#167 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phoner sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and AssetHelm sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AssetHelm holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phoner has 35K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Phoner's written reviews are positive against 100% of AssetHelm's.
