# DeckTradr vs Golden TCG

The clearest difference is ads: DeckTradr at none against Golden TCG's shown. DeckTradr also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DeckTradr sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Golden TCG sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for DeckTradr against 5.0 for Golden TCG. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DeckTradr has 974 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
