# Amazon Shopping vs Fry's

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fry's at none against Amazon Shopping's 4. Fry's also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Amazon Shopping's advantage is ratings volume (8.5M vs 125K) and chart position (#6 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Amazon Shopping sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Fry's asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Amazon Shopping against 4.8 for Fry's. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Amazon Shopping has 8.5M ratings behind it against 125K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 23% of Amazon Shopping's written reviews are positive against 14% of Fry's's.
