# Doyle Guides vs AIS Fleet

The clearest difference is rating: AIS Fleet at 5.0 against Doyle Guides's 4.3. AIS Fleet also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Doyle Guides's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doyle Guides sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and AIS Fleet sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AIS Fleet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doyle Guides has 50 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Doyle Guides's written reviews are positive against 100% of AIS Fleet's.
