# NetBenefits vs FA Pay

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NetBenefits at none against FA Pay's 3. NetBenefits also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 34) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). FA Pay's advantage is iOS requirement (12.1 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FA Pay sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. NetBenefits asks for nothing beyond the download.

NetBenefits holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NetBenefits has 29K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of NetBenefits's written reviews are positive against 50% of FA Pay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
