# Noveltime vs TopStories

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TopStories at 88% against Noveltime's 50%. TopStories also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#171 vs unranked). Noveltime's advantage is ratings volume (217 vs 45) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Noveltime sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and TopStories sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TopStories holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 217 and 45 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Noveltime's written reviews are positive against 88% of TopStories's.
