# Phont vs Captiono

The clearest difference is rating: Captiono at 4.7 against Phont's 3.9. Captiono also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 40) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Phont's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Phont sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Captiono sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Captiono holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Captiono has 6.1K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Phont's written reviews are positive against 52% of Captiono's.
