# Coleka vs Postcard Archive

The clearest difference is rating: Postcard Archive at 5.0 against Coleka's 4.4. Postcard Archive also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). Coleka's advantage is ratings volume (92 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Coleka sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Postcard Archive sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Postcard Archive holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coleka has 92 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
