# On‑Device AI vs Emojic

The clearest difference is rating: Emojic at 5.0 against On‑Device AI's 4.4. Emojic also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On‑Device AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (163 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. On‑Device AI sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Emojic sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Emojic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: On‑Device AI has 163 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
