# Pearltrees vs Bossy Tana

The clearest difference is rating: Bossy Tana at 4.7 against Pearltrees's 4.2. Bossy Tana also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (95% vs 86%). Pearltrees's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (198 vs 25). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pearltrees sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Bossy Tana sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bossy Tana holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pearltrees has 198 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two.
