# Bark vs TicketHarmony

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TicketHarmony at 100% against Bark's 13%. TicketHarmony also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). Bark's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 1) and chart position (#82 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bark sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. TicketHarmony asks for nothing beyond the download.

TicketHarmony holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bark has 36K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of Bark's written reviews are positive against 100% of TicketHarmony's.
