# FTF vs Pawsapp

The clearest difference is rating: Pawsapp at 2.3 against FTF's 1.0. Pawsapp also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). FTF's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 33%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Pawsapp holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of FTF's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pawsapp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
