# Called vs G

The clearest difference is review sentiment: G at 100% against Called's 75%. G also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Called's advantage is ratings volume (370 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

G holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.
