# RosyRead vs TopStories

The clearest difference is ads: RosyRead at none against TopStories's shown. TopStories's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 71%) and chart position (#78 vs unranked). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RosyRead sells 29 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and TopStories sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TopStories holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 45 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of RosyRead's written reviews are positive against 88% of TopStories's.
