# ImagineFX vs Zolly

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zolly at 100% against ImagineFX's 54%. Zolly also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). ImagineFX's advantage is ratings volume (626 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ImagineFX sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Zolly sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Zolly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ImagineFX has 626 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of ImagineFX's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zolly's.
