# Nerdish vs Pilot92

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pilot92 at 100% against Nerdish's 60%. Pilot92 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Nerdish's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nerdish sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pilot92 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pilot92 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nerdish has 2.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Nerdish's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pilot92's.
