# iPhone Life vs Macworld

The clearest difference is rating: iPhone Life at 4.6 against Macworld's 2.0. iPhone Life also leads on ratings volume (113 vs 5) and chart position (#185 vs unranked). Macworld's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iPhone Life sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per year and Macworld sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iPhone Life holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iPhone Life has 113 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
