# Panels vs Comic AI Translator

The clearest difference is rating: Panels at 4.8 against Comic AI Translator's 1.0. Panels also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 1) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Panels sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Comic AI Translator sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Panels holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Panels has 12K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
