# Petro Path vs Rig Finder

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rig Finder at 94% against Petro Path's 31%. Rig Finder also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.6). Petro Path's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and chart position (#41 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Petro Path sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Rig Finder sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rig Finder holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Petro Path has 74 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two.
