# plop vs ThriveBaby+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ThriveBaby+ at 100% against plop's 62%. ThriveBaby+ also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). plop's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 1).

Both are free to download. plop sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ThriveBaby+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
