# Gutenberg Project vs Dewey

The clearest difference is rating: Dewey at 5.0 against Gutenberg Project's 3.3. Dewey also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Gutenberg Project's advantage is ratings volume (43 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gutenberg Project sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Dewey sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dewey holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gutenberg Project has 43 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
