# uStory vs Choosewise

The clearest difference is ads: uStory at none against Choosewise's shown. Choosewise's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. uStory sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Choosewise sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Choosewise holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Choosewise has 44 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
