# Picture Fish vs Fishdex

The clearest difference is rating: Picture Fish at 4.5 against Fishdex's 2.7. Picture Fish also leads on review sentiment (36% vs 0%) and ratings volume (5.4K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Picture Fish sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Fishdex sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Picture Fish holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Picture Fish has 5.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Picture Fish's written reviews are positive against 0% of Fishdex's.
