# Wondering vs Devmaxx

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Wondering at 100% against Devmaxx's 16%. Wondering also leads on monetization model (free vs subscription) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Devmaxx's advantage is ratings volume (527 vs 73). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wondering sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Devmaxx sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
