All writers have their favorite words. Some of yours might be CASH-WINNING CONTEST! We creators love to create. But let’s be real. Creators need cash to create. And even buy food sometimes.

Get your chance to win some cash! Like our style? Read on, new creative friend. Finding a good creative partnership is like finding the perfect dating match. The chemistry is a must, but you also want someone who understands your project goals, needs, and timeline. Because it’s never easy to find “the one” to work with, we brought Creativist to life. Creativist is designed to help you choose the right person to take your masterpiece to the next level. Our app features profiles and portfolios of likeminded creators who share similar intentions—making a living by living out their creative passions. As a community of freelance artists, writers, editors, photographers, and designers, Creativist connects kindred spirits in creativity—like you! Whether you’re self-publishing or submitting to a major publisher, find the talent you need to elevate your work. This could look like: • A freelance writer teaming up with an illustrator to create a children’s book • An artist and an author turning a great idea into a great graphic novel • A blogger pairing with a designer to make their website look amazing • A photographer looking for the perfect social media wordsmith • An editor making magic out of a writer’s manuscript Start by reviewing each other’s past work to decide if it’s the right fit. Like what you see? Reach out and say hello to begin a collaboration. Once it’s a match, the two of you take it from there.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Lit.bio at 5.0 against Creativist's 4.0. Creativist's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Creativist sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Lit.bio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lit.bio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Creativist has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
