# GoodLinks vs Atode

The clearest difference is price: Atode at Free against GoodLinks's $9.99. GoodLinks's advantage is ratings volume (637 vs 17) and review sentiment (80% vs 60%). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Atode is free to download; GoodLinks costs $9.99 up front. GoodLinks sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and Atode sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for GoodLinks against 4.6 for Atode. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GoodLinks has 637 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of GoodLinks's written reviews are positive against 60% of Atode's.
