# VBMAPP vs Functional Parenting Coach

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Functional Parenting Coach at 100% against VBMAPP's 53%. Functional Parenting Coach also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). VBMAPP's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VBMAPP sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Functional Parenting Coach sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
