# Tsubook vs FSM

The clearest difference is monetization model: FSM at free against Tsubook's free with in-app purchases. FSM also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Tsubook's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 3). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tsubook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and FSM sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Tsubook against 5.0 for FSM. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tsubook has 49 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of Tsubook's written reviews are positive against 100% of FSM's.
