# Tally vs Synchronized Tally

The clearest difference is rating: Synchronized Tally at 4.3 against Tally's 2.3. Synchronized Tally also leads on ratings volume (19 vs 3). Tally's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Synchronized Tally sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Tally asks for nothing beyond the download.

Synchronized Tally holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Synchronized Tally has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tally's written reviews are positive against 75% of Synchronized Tally's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
