# TopStories vs Ringdom

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TopStories at 88% against Ringdom's 13%. TopStories also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (45 vs 8). Ringdom's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TopStories sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Ringdom sells 12 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 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TopStories has 45 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of TopStories's written reviews are positive against 13% of Ringdom's.
