# Sporcle vs Pack Mentality

Sporcle and Pack Mentality both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Pack Mentality's written reviews are positive against 35% of Sporcle's. Pack Mentality also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Sporcle's advantage is ratings volume (4.1K vs 7) and chart position (#32 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sporcle sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Pack Mentality sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pack Mentality holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sporcle has 4.1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of Sporcle's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pack Mentality's.
