# Maven vs thislist

The clearest difference is review sentiment: thislist at 100% against Maven's 44%. thislist also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Maven's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

thislist holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Maven has 21 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Maven's written reviews are positive against 100% of thislist's.
