# Nutstore vs Mach Drive

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Nutstore at 89% against Mach Drive's 20%. Nutstore also leads on ratings volume (431 vs 7) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Mach Drive's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nutstore sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per year and Mach Drive sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nutstore holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nutstore has 431 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of Nutstore's written reviews are positive against 20% of Mach Drive's.
