# GuardBox vs Pitch Master

The clearest difference is monetization model: GuardBox at free with in-app purchases against Pitch Master's subscription. GuardBox also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Pitch Master's advantage is ratings volume (521 vs 5) and chart position (#108 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. GuardBox sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Pitch Master sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
