# Pasta Machine vs Implexion

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Implexion at 100% against Pasta Machine's 16%. Implexion also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Pasta Machine's advantage is ratings volume (8.8K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pasta Machine sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Implexion sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
