# Tournament Maker vs Team Split

The clearest difference is rating: Team Split at 5.0 against Tournament Maker's 4.2. Team Split also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). Tournament Maker's advantage is ratings volume (774 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tournament Maker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Team Split sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
