# Tally vs Progress

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Progress at 80% against Tally's 33%. Progress also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Tally's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.1K vs 871). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tally sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Progress sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Progress holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4.1K and 871 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Tally's written reviews are positive against 80% of Progress's.
