# 2houses vs 2ForKids

The clearest difference is rating: 2ForKids at 5.0 against 2houses's 4.0. 2ForKids also leads on review sentiment (60% vs 49%). 2houses's advantage is ratings volume (146 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 2houses sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and 2ForKids sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
