# Narjo vs Plinth Player

The clearest difference is rating: Plinth Player at 5.0 against Narjo's 4.2. Narjo's advantage is ratings volume (38 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Narjo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Plinth Player sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Plinth Player holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Narjo has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
