# Flyleaf vs Queue

The clearest difference is rating: Flyleaf at 4.9 against Queue's 4.3. Flyleaf also leads on review sentiment (99% vs 68%) and device support (3 vs 1). Queue's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flyleaf sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per month and Queue sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flyleaf holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 88 and 86 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 99% of Flyleaf's written reviews are positive against 68% of Queue's.
