# Summary vs boggler.ai

The clearest difference is ads: Summary at none against boggler.ai's shown. Summary also leads on ratings volume (57K vs 44) and chart position (#16 vs unranked). boggler.ai's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Summary sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and boggler.ai sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $25.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Summary has 57K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two.
