# TingYue vs AllEars

The clearest difference is ads: AllEars at none against TingYue's shown. AllEars also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 66%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). TingYue's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TingYue sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and AllEars sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.69 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
