# Garden Planner vs Chicken Math

The clearest difference is rating: Chicken Math at 5.0 against Garden Planner's 4.3. Chicken Math also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Garden Planner's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (47 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Garden Planner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Chicken Math sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Chicken Math holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Garden Planner has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
