# PiTT vs A

The clearest difference is rating: A at 4.5 against PiTT's 3.9. A also leads on ads (none vs shown). PiTT's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 38%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PiTT sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and A sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $99.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

A holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of PiTT's written reviews are positive against 38% of A's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PiTT ships an update every 3 weeks, A every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
