# Penta vs Pocket Disk

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket Disk at none against Penta's 1. Pocket Disk also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Penta's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Penta sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Pocket Disk asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pocket Disk holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Penta has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
