# TodayShot vs PHOKI

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PHOKI at 96% against TodayShot's 50%. PHOKI also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9). TodayShot's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

PHOKI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9.
