# au vs Stick With It

The clearest difference is rating: Stick With It at 4.4 against au's 3.7. Stick With It also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 57%) and ratings volume (6K vs 36). au's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 16 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
