# FrostRead vs PanelPulse

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PanelPulse at 93% against FrostRead's 63%. PanelPulse also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). FrostRead's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and chart position (#153 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FrostRead sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 7 days and PanelPulse sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FrostRead holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 78 and 52 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of FrostRead's written reviews are positive against 93% of PanelPulse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
