# Lumin vs Donna

The clearest difference is rating: Donna at 5.0 against Lumin's 4.5. Donna also leads on ads (none vs shown). Lumin's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (940 vs 1). On price, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Donna sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Lumin asks for nothing beyond the download.
