# Truffle vs Yumbox

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Truffle at 339 against Yumbox's 13. Truffle also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.5). Yumbox's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 65%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Truffle sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Yumbox sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Truffle against 4.5 for Yumbox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Truffle has 339 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 65% of Truffle's written reviews are positive against 78% of Yumbox's.
