# Matter vs ConcisePress

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ConcisePress at none against Matter's 10. ConcisePress also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Matter's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Matter sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. ConcisePress asks for nothing beyond the download.

ConcisePress holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Matter has 1.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
