# Learn Patterns vs Coding For Kids

The clearest difference is monetization model: Learn Patterns at free with in-app purchases against Coding For Kids's subscription. Learn Patterns also leads on iOS requirement (6.1 vs 13.0). Coding For Kids's advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 11) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Learn Patterns sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Coding For Kids sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Coding For Kids holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coding For Kids has 4.5K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Learn Patterns's written reviews are positive against 72% of Coding For Kids's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
