# Mac Fan vs Gappon

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gappon at 86% against Mac Fan's 10%. Gappon also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Mac Fan's advantage is iOS requirement (6.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mac Fan sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per month and Gappon sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
