# Alchemy AI vs Cat Alchemy

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alchemy AI at 86% against Cat Alchemy's 0%. Alchemy AI also leads on ratings volume (412 vs 1). Cat Alchemy's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alchemy AI sells 56 one-off in-app purchases and Cat Alchemy sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cat Alchemy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alchemy AI has 412 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Alchemy AI's written reviews are positive against 0% of Cat Alchemy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
