# JPay vs TouchPay Child Support

The clearest difference is rating: TouchPay Child Support at 3.0 against JPay's 2.3. TouchPay Child Support also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). JPay's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13K vs 25). On price, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

TouchPay Child Support holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JPay has 13K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 7% of JPay's written reviews are positive against 13% of TouchPay Child Support's.
