# The Creator vs Planet DIY

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Planet DIY at none against The Creator's 6. Planet DIY also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). The Creator's advantage is ratings volume (719 vs 2) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Creator sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Planet DIY asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for The Creator against 4.5 for Planet DIY. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Creator has 719 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of The Creator's written reviews are positive against 100% of Planet DIY's.
