# Bottleneck Check vs PCForge™

The clearest difference is rating: PCForge™ at 4.3 against Bottleneck Check's 2.0. PCForge™ also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bottleneck Check sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and PCForge™ sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PCForge™ holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PCForge™ has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
