# Precision Trolling vs Musky Metrics

The clearest difference is update cadence: Musky Metrics at every 6 days against Precision Trolling's every 6 weeks. Precision Trolling's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (940 vs 25). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Precision Trolling sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Musky Metrics sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Precision Trolling has 940 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two.
