# Documents vs Winmail Viewer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Documents at 71% against Winmail Viewer's 26%. Documents also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (626K vs 1). Winmail Viewer's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Documents sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Winmail Viewer sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Documents holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Documents has 626K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Documents's written reviews are positive against 26% of Winmail Viewer's.
