# Linky Blocks vs ShapeUp

The clearest difference is ads: ShapeUp at none against Linky Blocks's shown. ShapeUp also leads on ratings volume (15 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linky Blocks sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and ShapeUp sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Linky Blocks against 5.0 for ShapeUp. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShapeUp has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
