# Win Life vs Grit

The clearest difference is ads: Grit at none against Win Life's shown. Grit also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Win Life's advantage is ratings volume (247 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Win Life sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Grit sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Grit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Win Life has 247 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
