# Planbook Mobile vs Tri

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tri at none against Planbook Mobile's 3. Tri also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Planbook Mobile's advantage is ratings volume (7.6K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planbook Mobile sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Tri asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tri holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planbook Mobile has 7.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
