# USA States vs PilotsDiner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PilotsDiner at 100% against USA States's 20%. PilotsDiner also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). USA States's advantage is ratings volume (300 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. USA States sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and PilotsDiner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
