# Planformer vs Clipto

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Planformer at 100% against Clipto's 36%. Planformer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and device support (3 vs 1). Clipto's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (55 vs 6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planformer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per month and Clipto sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
