# Line Up vs Matexo

The clearest difference is rating: Matexo at 4.9 against Line Up's 3.0. Matexo also leads on ratings volume (356 vs 2). Line Up's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Line Up sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Matexo sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
