# Actions vs Point in time

The clearest difference is rating: Actions at 4.8 against Point in time's 4.4. Actions also leads on ratings volume (515 vs 5). Point in time's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 92%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Actions holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Actions has 515 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Actions's written reviews are positive against 100% of Point in time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
