# 香討 vs Plurk

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Plurk at 62% against 香討's 13%. Plurk also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.8) and ratings volume (542 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 香討 sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Plurk sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
