# Love8 vs Sophon

The clearest difference is rating: Love8 at 4.6 against Sophon's 4.1. Love8 also leads on review sentiment (62% vs 29%) and ratings volume (7.7K vs 74). Sophon's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Love8 sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Sophon sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Love8 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Love8 has 7.7K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Love8's written reviews are positive against 29% of Sophon's.
