# Wristrax vs Mobile MA

The clearest difference is rating: Wristrax at 5.0 against Mobile MA's 2.8. Mobile MA's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wristrax sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per year and Mobile MA sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Wristrax holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile MA has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
