# Handy.com vs PAWZ

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PAWZ at 100% against Handy.com's 38%. PAWZ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Handy.com's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 11). 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.

PAWZ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Handy.com has 29K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Handy.com's written reviews are positive against 100% of PAWZ's.
