# Better Reply vs Paraphrase

The clearest difference is rating: Paraphrase at 4.8 against Better Reply's 4.4. Paraphrase also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Better Reply's advantage is ratings volume (183 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Better Reply sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Paraphrase sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Paraphrase holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Better Reply has 183 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two.
