# Open vs Thrive360

Open and Thrive360 both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Thrive360's written reviews are positive against 60% of Open's. Thrive360 also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Open's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (18K vs 28).

Both are free to download. Open sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Thrive360 sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.95 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Open against 4.9 for Thrive360. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Open has 18K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two.
