# sidelineHD vs FieldHype

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FieldHype at 100% against sidelineHD's 54%. FieldHype also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). sidelineHD's advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 6) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. sidelineHD sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and FieldHype sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FieldHype holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: sidelineHD has 81 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
