# Universo Now vs AZTK Play

The clearest difference is ads: AZTK Play at none against Universo Now's shown. AZTK Play also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Universo Now's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 38) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, 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.

Universo Now holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Universo Now has 1.3K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Universo Now's written reviews are positive against 50% of AZTK Play's.
