# Hallmark+ vs Panda Drum

The clearest difference is rating: Hallmark+ at 4.2 against Panda Drum's 1.4. Hallmark+ also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 8) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hallmark+ sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Panda Drum sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hallmark+ holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hallmark+ has 12K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
