# AppClose vs CoParent Connect

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CoParent Connect at 100% against AppClose's 13%. CoParent Connect also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). AppClose's advantage is ratings volume (39K vs 6) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppClose sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and CoParent Connect sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CoParent Connect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppClose has 39K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
