# Margins vs Mythmark

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mythmark at none against Margins's 3. Margins's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 4) and chart position (#99 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Margins sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Mythmark asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Margins against 5.0 for Mythmark. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Margins has 20K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
