# ASMALLWORLD vs Trotter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Trotter at 100% against ASMALLWORLD's 49%. Trotter also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). ASMALLWORLD's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ASMALLWORLD sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $99.99 per year and Trotter sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
