# MyWeight Assistant vs PaceBuddy

The clearest difference is rating: PaceBuddy at 5.0 against MyWeight Assistant's 4.0. PaceBuddy also leads on ads (none vs shown). MyWeight Assistant's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyWeight Assistant sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and PaceBuddy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PaceBuddy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyWeight Assistant has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
