# Code Karts vs Thinkrolls

The clearest difference is rating: Thinkrolls at 4.4 against Code Karts's 3.8. Thinkrolls also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 147) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Code Karts sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Thinkrolls sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thinkrolls holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thinkrolls has 15K ratings behind it against 147, so its average is the more settled of the two.
