# Maker Studio vs Scratch案例教程

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Maker Studio at 73% against Scratch案例教程's 9%. Maker Studio also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (428 vs 2). Scratch案例教程's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Maker Studio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Scratch案例教程 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Maker Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0.
