# SnapWords® vs Expressive Go

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SnapWords® at 33% against Expressive Go's 0%. Expressive Go's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (3.0 vs 2.7). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SnapWords® sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Expressive Go sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
