# How We Feel vs P3TAL

The clearest difference is ratings volume: How We Feel at 30K against P3TAL's 1. How We Feel also leads on chart position (#149 vs unranked). P3TAL's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for How We Feel against 5.0 for P3TAL. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: How We Feel has 30K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
