# XuePlay vs ZenForge

The clearest difference is rating: XuePlay at 5.0 against ZenForge's 1.0. ZenForge's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XuePlay sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 3 months and ZenForge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

XuePlay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1 and 1 respectively.
