# Interactful vs App Maker Professional

The clearest difference is rating: Interactful at 4.9 against App Maker Professional's 3.9. Interactful also leads on review sentiment (98% vs 60%) and ratings volume (402 vs 25). App Maker Professional's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Interactful holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Interactful has 402 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two.
