# OLIO vs Figo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Figo at none against OLIO's 10. Figo also leads on ads (none vs shown). OLIO's advantage is ratings volume (792 vs 13). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OLIO sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Figo asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for OLIO against 4.5 for Figo.
