# Snowball Analytics vs OptionsPal

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: OptionsPal at none against Snowball Analytics's 6. Snowball Analytics's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snowball Analytics sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. OptionsPal asks for nothing beyond the download.

OptionsPal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snowball Analytics has 2.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
