# Once vs Tada

The clearest difference is ads: Tada at none against Once's shown. Tada also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Once's advantage is ratings volume (714 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Once sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tada sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tada holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Once has 714 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Once's written reviews are positive against 100% of Tada's.
