# IMDbPro vs The Mandy Network

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IMDbPro at none against The Mandy Network's 6. IMDbPro also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 19) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). The Mandy Network's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (29% vs 20%). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Mandy Network sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. IMDbPro asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for IMDbPro against 4.7 for The Mandy Network. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IMDbPro has 2.7K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 20% of IMDbPro's written reviews are positive against 29% of The Mandy Network's.
