# Write a Book vs Writing Prompt

The clearest difference is rating: Writing Prompt at 4.1 against Write a Book's 3.8. Write a Book's advantage is ratings volume (200 vs 7) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Write a Book sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Writing Prompt sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Writing Prompt holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Write a Book has 200 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
