# Effie vs ReplyFire

The clearest difference is rating: ReplyFire at 5.0 against Effie's 4.3. ReplyFire also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Effie's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (36 vs 3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Effie sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.00 per month and ReplyFire sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReplyFire holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Effie has 36 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Effie's written reviews are positive against 100% of ReplyFire's.
