# ToonHQ vs SV Guide

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ToonHQ at none against SV Guide's 1. ToonHQ also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (409 vs 86). SV Guide's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 55%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SV Guide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. ToonHQ asks for nothing beyond the download.

ToonHQ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 409 and 86 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of ToonHQ's written reviews are positive against 83% of SV Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
