# Martin vs This Year

The clearest difference is price: Martin at Free against This Year's $199.99. Martin also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (251 vs 1). This Year's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Martin is free to download; This Year costs $199.99 up front. Martin sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $35.00 per month and This Year sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

This Year holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Martin has 251 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
