# PhotoCatch vs Obloid

The clearest difference is rating: PhotoCatch at 5.0 against Obloid's 3.6. PhotoCatch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (33% vs 14%). Obloid's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (79 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhotoCatch sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Obloid sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PhotoCatch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Obloid has 79 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
