# Lumisketch vs ProjectX

The clearest difference is rating: Lumisketch at 5.0 against ProjectX's 4.6. Lumisketch also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). ProjectX's advantage is ratings volume (77 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lumisketch sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $139.99 per month and ProjectX sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lumisketch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ProjectX has 77 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Lumisketch's written reviews are positive against 75% of ProjectX's.
