# Learning vs Chessbook

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Learning at none against Chessbook's 2. Learning also leads on iOS requirement (6.1 vs 15.0). Chessbook's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 1) and device support. On price and rating there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chessbook sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Learning asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Learning against 4.9 for Chessbook. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chessbook has 2.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
