# Knit Away vs Knit Master 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Knit Away at 4.9 against Knit Master 3D's 4.1. Knit Away also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (25K vs 297). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Knit Away sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Knit Master 3D sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Knit Away holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Knit Away has 25K ratings behind it against 297, so its average is the more settled of the two.
