# FaithStudy vs IQ Elevate

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FaithStudy at none against IQ Elevate's 12. FaithStudy also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (94% vs 75%). IQ Elevate's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IQ Elevate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. FaithStudy asks for nothing beyond the download.

FaithStudy holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FaithStudy has 13K ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
