# Comms vs Pilot Reach

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pilot Reach at 80% against Comms's 36%. Pilot Reach also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2). Comms's advantage is ratings volume (207 vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Comms sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Pilot Reach sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pilot Reach holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comms has 207 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Comms's written reviews are positive against 80% of Pilot Reach's.
