# LUT Studio vs Ocean Edit

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ocean Edit at 100% against LUT Studio's 65%. Ocean Edit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). LUT Studio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (789 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LUT Studio sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Ocean Edit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ocean Edit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LUT Studio has 789 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
