# RoutineFlow vs OwnFire

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OwnFire at 100% against RoutineFlow's 61%. OwnFire also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). RoutineFlow's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (2.5K vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RoutineFlow sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and OwnFire sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OwnFire holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RoutineFlow has 2.5K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
