# ShapeScript Mobile vs Print To 3D

The clearest difference is rating: ShapeScript Mobile at 5.0 against Print To 3D's 3.7. ShapeScript Mobile also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 48%). Print To 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (31 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShapeScript Mobile sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Print To 3D sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ShapeScript Mobile holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Print To 3D has 31 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
