# Audiobook Summary vs Milestone

The clearest difference is monetization model: Milestone at free with in-app purchases against Audiobook Summary's subscription. Milestone also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 5). Audiobook Summary's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Audiobook Summary sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $59.99 per year and Milestone sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Audiobook Summary against 4.7 for Milestone. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Milestone has 3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
