# Peech vs NovelPal

The clearest difference is ads: Peech at none against NovelPal's shown. Peech also leads on ratings volume (9K vs 42). NovelPal's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Peech sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and NovelPal sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Peech against 4.4 for NovelPal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Peech has 9K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of Peech's written reviews are positive against 40% of NovelPal's.
