# CoachCat vs Ask Marcus

The clearest difference is rating: Ask Marcus at 5.0 against CoachCat's 4.3. CoachCat's advantage is ratings volume (81 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CoachCat sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $34.99 per month and Ask Marcus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ask Marcus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CoachCat has 81 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
