# CommonAR vs Known

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CommonAR at none against Known's 1. CommonAR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Known's advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Known sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CommonAR asks for nothing beyond the download.

CommonAR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Known has 2.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
