# SME.sk vs PLUS 1 DEŇ

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SME.sk at 65% against PLUS 1 DEŇ's 20%. SME.sk also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (77 vs 1). PLUS 1 DEŇ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SME.sk sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and PLUS 1 DEŇ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SME.sk has 77 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
