# NetworkNerd vs Kid Banking

Kid Banking's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NetworkNerd sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Kid Banking sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
