# Jodel vs Daryse

The clearest difference is rating: Jodel at 4.4 against Daryse's 3.7. Jodel also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 33%) and ratings volume (121K vs 3). Daryse's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jodel sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Daryse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jodel holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jodel has 121K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Jodel's written reviews are positive against 33% of Daryse's.
