# 掌上公交 vs 温州地铁

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 掌上公交 at 37% against 温州地铁's 0%. 掌上公交 also leads on ratings volume (132 vs 2). 温州地铁's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

温州地铁 holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 掌上公交 has 132 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of 掌上公交's written reviews are positive against 0% of 温州地铁's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
