# GMX vs MTC

The clearest difference is rating: GMX at 4.7 against MTC's 4.0. GMX also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and review sentiment (77% vs 50%). MTC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GMX sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. MTC asks for nothing beyond the download.

GMX holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0.
