# Sincerely vs Luxe Roots

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Luxe Roots at none against Sincerely's 10. Luxe Roots also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 40%) and device support (3 vs 1). Sincerely's advantage is ratings volume (36K vs 30) and chart position (#86 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sincerely sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Luxe Roots asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Sincerely against 4.6 for Luxe Roots. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sincerely has 36K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two.
