# FET vs HeadQuarters Plus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HeadQuarters Plus at 100% against FET's 48%. HeadQuarters Plus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and ads (none vs shown). FET's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 2) and chart position (#50 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FET sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and HeadQuarters Plus sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
