# GitFeed vs Primal

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GitFeed at none against Primal's 5. GitFeed also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). Primal's advantage is ratings volume (936 vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Primal sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. GitFeed asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for GitFeed against 4.9 for Primal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Primal has 936 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of GitFeed's written reviews are positive against 87% of Primal's.
