# Growbit vs Thinky

Growbit's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (54 vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Growbit sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Thinky sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
