# Phone.com vs 800.com

The clearest difference is rating: Phone.com at 4.5 against 800.com's 4.0. Phone.com also leads on ratings volume (261 vs 17). 800.com's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 16%) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Phone.com holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Phone.com has 261 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Phone.com's written reviews are positive against 45% of 800.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Phone.com ships an update every 3 months, 800.com every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 19, 2026.
