# DEVAR vs Busy Kids

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Busy Kids at 82% against DEVAR's 31%. Busy Kids also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.5 vs 4.0). DEVAR's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DEVAR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Busy Kids sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
