# MotionCoach vs ShadowSwing

The clearest difference is update cadence: ShadowSwing at daily against MotionCoach's every 11 days. MotionCoach's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MotionCoach sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and ShadowSwing sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for MotionCoach against 5.0 for ShadowSwing. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MotionCoach has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
