# Star Communications vs My PetSafe®

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My PetSafe® at 59% against Star Communications's 0%. My PetSafe® also leads on ratings volume (794 vs 4). Star Communications's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Star Communications holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7.

Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Star Communications's written reviews are positive against 59% of My PetSafe®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
