# Drafts vs HelpTech+

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HelpTech+ at none against Drafts's 3. HelpTech+ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Drafts's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drafts sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. HelpTech+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

HelpTech+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drafts has 11K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
