# Text Workflow vs Sandflow

The clearest difference is rating: Text Workflow at 4.8 against Sandflow's 3.5. Text Workflow also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 71%) and ratings volume (176 vs 10). Sandflow's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Workflow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Sandflow sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
