# Mavis Studio vs ZineControl

The clearest difference is price: Mavis Studio at Free against ZineControl's $14.99. ZineControl's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Mavis Studio is free to download; ZineControl costs $14.99 up front. Mavis Studio sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month. ZineControl asks for nothing beyond the download.

ZineControl holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Mavis Studio's written reviews are positive against 92% of ZineControl's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
