# FunShorts vs PlotJoy

The clearest difference is rating: FunShorts at 4.6 against PlotJoy's 1.7. FunShorts also leads on ratings volume (341 vs 23). PlotJoy's advantage is chart position (#187 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FunShorts sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and PlotJoy sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $18.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FunShorts holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FunShorts has 341 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
