# Threadster vs Floss Colors

The clearest difference is price: Threadster at Free against Floss Colors's $2.99. Threadster also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 75%) and ratings volume (18 vs 5). Floss Colors's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Threadster is free to download; Floss Colors costs $2.99 up front. Threadster sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Floss Colors asks for nothing beyond the download.

Floss Colors holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Threadster's written reviews are positive against 75% of Floss Colors's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
