# Mirror ◎ vs Mirror

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mirror at 100% against Mirror ◎'s 46%. Mirror also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Mirror ◎'s advantage is ratings volume (195K vs 3) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mirror ◎ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mirror sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
