# AppsVillage vs Grati Community

The clearest difference is rating: Grati Community at 5.0 against AppsVillage's 2.9. Grati Community also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). AppsVillage's advantage is ratings volume (102 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppsVillage sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Grati Community sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grati Community holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppsVillage has 102 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
