# Showami vs ShowingNow

The clearest difference is rating: ShowingNow at 4.7 against Showami's 4.2. ShowingNow also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3). Showami's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (141 vs 32). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ShowingNow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 141 and 32 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Showami's written reviews are positive against 89% of ShowingNow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
