# Spell Ninja vs Screen Time Learning Challenge

The clearest difference is rating: Screen Time Learning Challenge at 5.0 against Spell Ninja's 4.2. Spell Ninja's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 3) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 18.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spell Ninja sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Screen Time Learning Challenge sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Time Learning Challenge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spell Ninja has 34 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
