# START vs Саморазвитие

The clearest difference is rating: Саморазвитие at 5.0 against START's 3.8. Саморазвитие also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). START's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (190 vs 2). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. START sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month. Саморазвитие asks for nothing beyond the download.

Саморазвитие holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: START has 190 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
