# PlayMirror vs Metron Comics

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Metron Comics at none against PlayMirror's 15. PlayMirror's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PlayMirror sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Metron Comics asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for PlayMirror against 5.0 for Metron Comics. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PlayMirror has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
