# Golden Hour vs QuickFrame

The clearest difference is rating: Golden Hour at 4.7 against QuickFrame's 3.7. Golden Hour also leads on ratings volume (398 vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). QuickFrame's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Golden Hour sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. QuickFrame asks for nothing beyond the download.

Golden Hour holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Golden Hour has 398 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Golden Hour's written reviews are positive against 50% of QuickFrame's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
