# Denoise vs Sidepic

Denoise and Sidepic both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Sidepic's written reviews are positive against 38% of Denoise's. Denoise's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (29 vs 4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Denoise sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Sidepic sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Denoise against 4.8 for Sidepic. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Denoise has 29 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
