# Fox Illinois vs PenLitics

The clearest difference is ads: PenLitics at none against Fox Illinois's shown. PenLitics also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Fox Illinois against 5.0 for PenLitics. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PenLitics has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
