# Risk.net vs theHRDIRECTOR

Risk.net's advantage is ratings volume (255 vs 6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Risk.net sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $219.99 per month and theHRDIRECTOR sells 43 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
