# Journey vs RotStop

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RotStop at none against Journey's 8. RotStop also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Journey's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Journey sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. RotStop asks for nothing beyond the download.

RotStop holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Journey has 2.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Journey's written reviews are positive against 100% of RotStop's.
