# HashWatcher vs Bitcoinist

The clearest difference is ads: HashWatcher at none against Bitcoinist's shown. HashWatcher also leads on ratings volume (491 vs 27) and review sentiment (87% vs 77%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HashWatcher sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Bitcoinist sells 28 in-app purchases, starting at $33.99 per 3 months. 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 HashWatcher against 5.0 for Bitcoinist. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HashWatcher has 491 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two.
