# Mobile01 vs PTT

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PTT at none against Mobile01's 2. PTT also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Mobile01's advantage is ratings volume (343 vs 27). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
