# Screw Guru vs Knit Out

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Knit Out at 46% against Screw Guru's 14%. Knit Out also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screw Guru sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Knit Out sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Knit Out holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knit Out has 38K ratings behind it against 6.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of Screw Guru's written reviews are positive against 46% of Knit Out's.
