# Plume vs TempBox

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Plume at 82% against TempBox's 55%. TempBox's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Plume sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and TempBox sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
