# Pocus vs Broc

The clearest difference is rating: Pocus at 3.7 against Broc's 3.0. Pocus also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (18 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pocus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Broc sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pocus holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pocus has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
