# Assignr vs Pickl'd

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pickl'd at free against Assignr's subscription. Pickl'd also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). Assignr's advantage is ratings volume (9K vs 6). 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 Assignr against 5.0 for Pickl'd. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Assignr has 9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of Assignr's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pickl'd's.
