# Thread Joy 3D vs Knit Master

The clearest difference is ads: Knit Master at none against Thread Joy 3D's shown. Knit Master also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). Thread Joy 3D's advantage is ratings volume (340 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
