# FormKey vs Reel2

The clearest difference is rating: Reel2 at 5.0 against FormKey's 4.3. Reel2 also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). FormKey's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FormKey sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Reel2 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reel2 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FormKey has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
