# Connect Creator vs Own.

The clearest difference is rating: Connect Creator at 5.0 against Own.'s 4.6. Connect Creator also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%). Own.'s advantage is ratings volume (307 vs 18). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Connect Creator sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Own. sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Connect Creator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6.
