# Video + vs Power Reader

The clearest difference is rating: Video + at 4.4 against Power Reader's 3.8. Video + also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 4) and review sentiment (80% vs 55%). Power Reader's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video + sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Power Reader asks for nothing beyond the download.

Video + holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8.
