# Ping vs Ping Master

The clearest difference is rating: Ping at 4.3 against Ping Master's 3.0. Ping also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (376 vs 2). Ping Master's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ping sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Ping Master asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ping holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ping has 376 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
