# Faker vs Lovup

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lovup at 100% against Faker's 12%. Lovup also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and ads (none vs shown). Faker's advantage is ratings volume (491 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Faker sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Lovup sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lovup holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Faker has 491 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 12% of Faker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lovup's.
