# TMZ vs Poll.It

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Poll.It at 100% against TMZ's 62%. Poll.It also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). TMZ's advantage is ratings volume (213K vs 6) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Poll.It holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TMZ has 213K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of TMZ's written reviews are positive against 100% of Poll.It's.
