# Pastel vs HapticHub

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Pastel at 1.4K against HapticHub's 1. Pastel also leads on device support (4 vs 1). HapticHub's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pastel sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and HapticHub sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HapticHub holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pastel has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
