# DIALPH0NE vs Text Message Sounds +

The clearest difference is rating: DIALPH0NE at 5.0 against Text Message Sounds +'s 3.9. DIALPH0NE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Text Message Sounds +'s advantage is ratings volume (275 vs 2) and review sentiment (27% vs 14%). 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.

DIALPH0NE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Message Sounds + has 275 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of DIALPH0NE's written reviews are positive against 27% of Text Message Sounds +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
