# FA Pay vs Paid Keeper

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Paid Keeper at none against FA Pay's 3. Paid Keeper also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (6.6K vs 37). FA Pay's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 30%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FA Pay sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Paid Keeper asks for nothing beyond the download.

Paid Keeper holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paid Keeper has 6.6K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of FA Pay's written reviews are positive against 30% of Paid Keeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
