# Teller vs PopNovel

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PopNovel at 72% against Teller's 0%. PopNovel also leads on rating (4.5 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (140 vs 2). Teller's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Teller sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and PopNovel sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PopNovel holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PopNovel has 140 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Teller's written reviews are positive against 72% of PopNovel's.
