# Faves vs Serializd

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Serializd at none against Faves's 15. Serializd also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 44%). Faves's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (17K vs 2.1K). On price, rating, update cadence and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Faves sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Serializd asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Faves against 4.6 for Serializd. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Faves has 17K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 44% of Faves's written reviews are positive against 64% of Serializd's.
