# 42 each vs Inventory Management

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 42 each at 100% against Inventory Management's 54%. 42 each also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.0). Inventory Management's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (652 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 42 each sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Inventory Management sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

42 each holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inventory Management has 652 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
