# Codebook vs SayThis

The clearest difference is ads: SayThis at none against Codebook's shown. Codebook's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Codebook sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and SayThis sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Codebook against 5.0 for SayThis. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Codebook has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
