# Upspace vs Glowly

The clearest difference is monetization model: Upspace at freemium against Glowly's subscription. Upspace also leads on ratings volume (147 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). Glowly's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Upspace sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $12.00 per month and Glowly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Glowly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Upspace has 147 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
