# Zen Wisdom vs Dharma Leafs

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Dharma Leafs at none against Zen Wisdom's 3. Dharma Leafs also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 17.0). Zen Wisdom's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (23 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zen Wisdom sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Dharma Leafs asks for nothing beyond the download.

Zen Wisdom holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zen Wisdom has 23 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 93% of Zen Wisdom's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dharma Leafs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
