# Universal vs RiffTrax

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RiffTrax at 68% against Universal's 20%. RiffTrax also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (30 vs 3). Universal's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Universal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and RiffTrax sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RiffTrax holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RiffTrax has 30 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Universal's written reviews are positive against 68% of RiffTrax's.
