# Merrithew Connect™ vs Pilates Project

The clearest difference is rating: Pilates Project at 4.8 against Merrithew Connect™'s 3.0. Pilates Project also leads on ratings volume (64 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Merrithew Connect™ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and Pilates Project sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pilates Project holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pilates Project has 64 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
