# Setuply vs Papertone

The clearest difference is price: Setuply at Free against Papertone's $1.99. Setuply also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Papertone's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Setuply is free to download; Papertone costs $1.99 up front. Setuply sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Papertone asks for nothing beyond the download.

Papertone holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Setuply's written reviews are positive against 75% of Papertone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
