# Mod vs CraftLab

The clearest difference is rating: Mod at 4.6 against CraftLab's 3.9. Mod also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 20%) and ratings volume (34K vs 697). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mod sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and CraftLab sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mod holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mod has 34K ratings behind it against 697, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Mod's written reviews are positive against 20% of CraftLab's.

Mod ships an update monthly, CraftLab every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
