# uFocus vs Marked

The clearest difference is monetization model: Marked at free against uFocus's paid. Marked also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). uFocus's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 3) and device support (5 vs 2). 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.

Marked holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: uFocus has 36 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of uFocus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Marked's.
