# been vs Routely

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Routely at 100% against been's 59%. Routely also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). been's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (10K vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. been sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Routely sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
