# Articulation Teacher vs ParentScience

The clearest difference is update cadence: ParentScience at daily against Articulation Teacher's every 28 months. ParentScience also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Articulation Teacher's advantage is ratings volume (213 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Articulation Teacher sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and ParentScience sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
