# Custom Kicks vs Gun Maker

Custom Kicks also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 306). Gun Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months).

Both are free to download. Custom Kicks sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Gun Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Custom Kicks holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Custom Kicks has 2.9K ratings behind it against 306, so its average is the more settled of the two.
