# Mobooks vs SanpPlay

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mobooks at 85% against SanpPlay's 0%. Mobooks also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.7) and ratings volume (6K vs 6). SanpPlay's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobooks sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and SanpPlay sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.90 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mobooks holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.7.
