# Stamp Quest vs Plotline

The clearest difference is rating: Plotline at 4.9 against Stamp Quest's 3.0. Plotline also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 48%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Stamp Quest's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stamp Quest sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Plotline sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Plotline holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Plotline has 698 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 48% of Stamp Quest's written reviews are positive against 89% of Plotline's.
