# Minecraft Education vs DreamscapeEDU

DreamscapeEDU also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (77% vs 65%). Minecraft Education's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and chart position (#115 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. Minecraft Education sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year and DreamscapeEDU sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
