# uFocus vs Writeathon

Writeathon also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). uFocus's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 2) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Writeathon holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7.
