# Half a Minute vs Phrazle

The clearest difference is rating: Half a Minute at 2.9 against Phrazle's 2.4. Phrazle's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Half a Minute sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Phrazle asks for nothing beyond the download.

Half a Minute holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 8% of Half a Minute's written reviews are positive against 14% of Phrazle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
