# QuickBooks Desktop vs CFApps

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CFApps at 100% against QuickBooks Desktop's 5%. CFApps also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.9) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). QuickBooks Desktop's advantage is ratings volume (120 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

CFApps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.9.
