# PatternMate vs Pod

The clearest difference is rating: PatternMate at 5.0 against Pod's 1.0. PatternMate also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PatternMate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Pod sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PatternMate holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PatternMate has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
