# Beli vs Plateback

Beli and Plateback both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Plateback's written reviews are positive against 49% of Beli's. Plateback also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 83). Beli's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (18K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Beli sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $5.79 per month. Plateback asks for nothing beyond the download.

Plateback holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beli has 18K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Beli's written reviews are positive against 100% of Plateback's.
