# kubic vs Packer Master

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Packer Master at 100% against kubic's 36%. Packer Master also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). kubic's advantage is ratings volume (245 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
