# 大唐玄奘 vs BuddhaLink

The clearest difference is ads: 大唐玄奘 at none against BuddhaLink's shown. 大唐玄奘 also leads on ratings volume (16 vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). BuddhaLink's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 大唐玄奘 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and BuddhaLink sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BuddhaLink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 大唐玄奘 has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of 大唐玄奘's written reviews are positive against 90% of BuddhaLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
