# Text App vs PTHD

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PTHD at none against Text App's 7. PTHD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Text App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text App sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. PTHD asks for nothing beyond the download.

PTHD holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text App has 3.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
