# php vs ApiClient

The clearest difference is rating: php at 4.8 against ApiClient's 1.0. php also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (43 vs 1). ApiClient's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. php sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and ApiClient sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

php holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: php has 43 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of php's written reviews are positive against 100% of ApiClient's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

php ships an update every 7 months, ApiClient every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
