# LMK vs Scribe

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scribe at 100% against LMK's 20%. Scribe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). LMK's advantage is ratings volume (49K vs 2) and chart position (#183 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LMK sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Scribe asks for nothing beyond the download.
