# Anywhere vs Hook Player

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hook Player at none against Anywhere's 5. Hook Player also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Anywhere's advantage is ratings volume (441 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anywhere sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Hook Player asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hook Player holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anywhere has 441 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Anywhere's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hook Player's.
