# Side+ vs 2nd try

Side+ and 2nd try are too close to call on the numbers: across 10 compared parameters — price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.

Both are free to download. Side+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and 2nd try sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
