# Red Herring vs Orijinz Daily

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Orijinz Daily at none against Red Herring's 10. Orijinz Daily also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). Red Herring's advantage is ratings volume (48K vs 76). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Red Herring sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Orijinz Daily asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Red Herring against 4.9 for Orijinz Daily. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Red Herring has 48K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 76% of Red Herring's written reviews are positive against 100% of Orijinz Daily's.
