# HomeBooks vs Folio

The clearest difference is rating: HomeBooks at 4.8 against Folio's 1.0. HomeBooks also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HomeBooks sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Folio sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HomeBooks holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HomeBooks has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
