# HeyBLU vs SwingLab AI

The clearest difference is monetization model: SwingLab AI at free with in-app purchases against HeyBLU's subscription. HeyBLU's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 4). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HeyBLU sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SwingLab AI sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $18.99 per month. 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 HeyBLU against 5.0 for SwingLab AI. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HeyBLU has 22 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
