# Buy'r vs Patch Tarot

The clearest difference is ads: Buy'r at none against Patch Tarot's shown. Buy'r also leads on ratings volume (571 vs 26). Patch Tarot's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buy'r sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month and Patch Tarot sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. 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 Buy'r against 5.0 for Patch Tarot. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buy'r has 571 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Buy'r's written reviews are positive against 100% of Patch Tarot's.
