# Last Cube X vs PlatePad

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Last Cube X at 183 against PlatePad's 3. PlatePad's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Last Cube X sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PlatePad sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PlatePad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Last Cube X has 183 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Last Cube X's written reviews are positive against 100% of PlatePad's.
