# Sketch vs Text to Speech

The clearest difference is rating: Text to Speech at 4.3 against Sketch's 2.8. Sketch's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 3) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 14). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sketch sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Text to Speech sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Text to Speech holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sketch has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
