# Partiful vs Aris

The clearest difference is monetization model: Partiful at free against Aris's free with in-app purchases. Partiful also leads on ratings volume (274K vs 30) and chart position (#4 vs unranked). Aris's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Partiful sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Aris sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $29.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
