# Teller vs JoyNovel

The clearest difference is review sentiment: JoyNovel at 43% against Teller's 0%. JoyNovel also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). Teller's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). 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 JoyNovel sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

JoyNovel holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JoyNovel has 12 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 43% of JoyNovel's.
