# PacketPro vs ApiCatcher

The clearest difference is monetization model: PacketPro at free against ApiCatcher's free with in-app purchases. ApiCatcher's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PacketPro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ApiCatcher sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 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 — 5.0 for PacketPro against 5.0 for ApiCatcher. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ApiCatcher has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
