# RetroBoard vs StopButton

The clearest difference is review sentiment: StopButton at 100% against RetroBoard's 27%. StopButton also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.9) and device support (4 vs 2). RetroBoard's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (39 vs 7). On update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

RetroBoard is free to download; StopButton costs $1.99 up front. RetroBoard sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and StopButton sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StopButton holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RetroBoard has 39 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of RetroBoard's written reviews are positive against 100% of StopButton's.
