# MakePass vs PassIt

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PassIt at 100% against MakePass's 46%. PassIt also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). MakePass's advantage is ratings volume (288 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MakePass sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PassIt sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PassIt holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MakePass has 288 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of MakePass's written reviews are positive against 100% of PassIt's.
