# KBMH vs Askesis

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Askesis at none against KBMH's 10. Askesis also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). KBMH's advantage is ratings volume (460 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KBMH sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Askesis asks for nothing beyond the download.

Askesis holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KBMH has 460 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
