# Whodis vs Sherlock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Whodis at 60% against Sherlock's 0%. Whodis also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (33 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whodis sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Sherlock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
