# X vs Par

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Par at 100% against X's 13%. Par also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.5) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). X's advantage is ratings volume (76 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. X sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per year and Par sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Par holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X has 76 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of X's written reviews are positive against 100% of Par's.

X ships an update every 2 months, Par every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
