# Awareness vs Pin It

The clearest difference is monetization model: Awareness at free against Pin It's free with in-app purchases. Awareness also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Pin It's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
