# Tri vs U

The clearest difference is rating: U at 5.0 against Tri's 1.7. Tri's advantage is ratings volume (293 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

U holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tri has 293 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
