# Inventory Now vs Palletized

Both are free to download. Inventory Now sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Palletized sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Inventory Now against 4.7 for Palletized. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inventory Now has 689 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two.
