# Pause vs FLOW心流所

The clearest difference is rating: FLOW心流所 at 5.0 against Pause's 4.0. Pause's advantage is ratings volume (111 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pause sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and FLOW心流所 sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
