# Bearable vs PMDDly

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bearable at 6.4K against PMDDly's 4. PMDDly's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bearable sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and PMDDly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
