# Dista vs BAPS.STORE

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BAPS.STORE at 100% against Dista's 48%. BAPS.STORE also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Dista's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

BAPS.STORE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dista has 1.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Dista's written reviews are positive against 100% of BAPS.STORE's.
