# ServerBox vs 谈坛

The clearest difference is ads: ServerBox at none against 谈坛's shown. ServerBox also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 3) and device support (5 vs 2). 谈坛's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, rating, update cadence 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 ServerBox against 5.0 for 谈坛.
