# 简笔 vs Clip

The clearest difference is price: 简笔 at Free against Clip's $4.99. 简笔 also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Clip's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 55%). On ratings volume, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

简笔 is free to download; Clip costs $4.99 up front. Clip sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 简笔 asks for nothing beyond the download.

简笔 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of 简笔's written reviews are positive against 73% of Clip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
