# Slyder vs MyKeyboard

The clearest difference is rating: Slyder at 4.5 against MyKeyboard's 3.6. Slyder also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (69% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slyder sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and MyKeyboard sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Slyder holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Slyder has 1.6K ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two.
