# TournaMake vs Bracket Maker

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TournaMake at none against Bracket Maker's 2. TournaMake also leads on ratings volume (126 vs 15) and iOS requirement (9.2 vs 15.0). Bracket Maker's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bracket Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. TournaMake asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bracket Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TournaMake has 126 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of TournaMake's written reviews are positive against 67% of Bracket Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
