# Jomo vs Margin

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Margin at none against Jomo's 11. Margin also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Jomo's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jomo sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Margin asks for nothing beyond the download.

Margin holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jomo has 2.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
