# Freeya vs MIgardener

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MIgardener at none against Freeya's 6. MIgardener also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 109). Freeya's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#190 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Freeya sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. MIgardener asks for nothing beyond the download.

MIgardener holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MIgardener has 2.3K ratings behind it against 109, so its average is the more settled of the two.
