# SUNLIGHT vs Подружка

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SUNLIGHT at 58% against Подружка's 17%. SUNLIGHT also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 343). Подружка's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, 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.
