# Chineasy vs Howcomet

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Chineasy at 9.4K against Howcomet's 1. Howcomet's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chineasy sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Howcomet sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Howcomet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chineasy has 9.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Chineasy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Howcomet's.
