# My Aveda vs RecKeeper

My Aveda and RecKeeper both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of RecKeeper's written reviews are positive against 51% of My Aveda's. RecKeeper also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). My Aveda's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (10K vs 4). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RecKeeper sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. My Aveda asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for My Aveda against 5.0 for RecKeeper. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Aveda has 10K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of My Aveda's written reviews are positive against 100% of RecKeeper's.
