# Pottery.ly 3D vs Pottery AR

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pottery.ly 3D at 69% against Pottery AR's 17%. Pottery.ly 3D also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 8). Pottery AR's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pottery.ly 3D sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and Pottery AR sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pottery.ly 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pottery.ly 3D has 2.9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
