# Discrete vs Show Primer

The clearest difference is rating: Show Primer at 5.0 against Discrete's 4.7. Discrete's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 3) and device support. On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Discrete sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Show Primer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Show Primer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Discrete has 50 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
