# Finalist vs Diddit

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Finalist at 491 against Diddit's 6. Finalist also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and device support (5 vs 1). Diddit's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Finalist sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Diddit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Diddit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Finalist has 491 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
