# Parallel Account vs Dual Space

The clearest difference is monetization model: Dual Space at freemium against Parallel Account's subscription. Parallel Account's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 47). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Parallel Account sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Dual Space sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Parallel Account against 4.5 for Dual Space. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Parallel Account has 1.6K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two.
