# Adobe Illustrator vs Profile Border Maker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Adobe Illustrator at 37K against Profile Border Maker's 29. Profile Border Maker's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Adobe Illustrator sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Profile Border Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Profile Border Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Adobe Illustrator has 37K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two.
