# Spirit Stream vs Galactiv8

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Galactiv8 at 100% against Spirit Stream's 46%. Galactiv8 also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Spirit Stream's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (94 vs 1).

Both are free to download. Spirit Stream sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Galactiv8 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
