# Mariners vs 팔마켓

The clearest difference is update cadence: 팔마켓 at every 2 weeks against Mariners's every 6 months. 팔마켓 also leads on ratings volume (737 vs 61). Mariners's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (92% vs 75%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Mariners against 4.8 for 팔마켓. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 팔마켓 has 737 ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two.
