# Rad Trails! vs Crunchyroll

The clearest difference is ads: Crunchyroll at none against Rad Trails!'s shown. Rad Trails!'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (629 vs 31). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rad Trails! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Crunchyroll sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $13.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rad Trails! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rad Trails! has 629 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two.
