# Lovewick vs Holsom

The clearest difference is ads: Lovewick at none against Holsom's shown. Lovewick also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 215). Holsom's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lovewick sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Holsom sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Lovewick against 4.8 for Holsom. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lovewick has 1.9K ratings behind it against 215, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Lovewick's written reviews are positive against 77% of Holsom's.
