# MasterDex vs PrivateCRM

The clearest difference is ads: PrivateCRM at none against MasterDex's shown. PrivateCRM also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MasterDex's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MasterDex sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and PrivateCRM sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PrivateCRM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MasterDex has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
