# GazeboTV vs PLY Spinners Guild

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PLY Spinners Guild at 98% against GazeboTV's 68%. PLY Spinners Guild also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7). GazeboTV's advantage is ratings volume (935 vs 45) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GazeboTV sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and PLY Spinners Guild sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
