# Emma vs Kalimat

The clearest difference is rating: Kalimat at 5.0 against Emma's 4.6. Kalimat also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and device support (3 vs 1). Emma's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Emma sells 39 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Kalimat sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kalimat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Emma has 4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
