# Кинопоиск vs Studio Star

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Studio Star at none against Кинопоиск's 17. Studio Star also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). Кинопоиск's advantage is ratings volume (37K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Кинопоиск sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Studio Star asks for nothing beyond the download.

Studio Star holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Кинопоиск has 37K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
