# Go Live vs Dot

The clearest difference is rating: Go Live at 4.5 against Dot's 1.9. Go Live also leads on ratings volume (637 vs 7) and review sentiment (83% vs 67%). Dot's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Go Live sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month and Dot sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Go Live holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Go Live has 637 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
