# Protocol vs Protocol

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Protocol at 100% against Protocol's 0%. Protocol also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). Protocol's advantage is ratings volume (51 vs 6) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Protocol sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Protocol sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
