# Sophia vs Micabo

The clearest difference is rating: Micabo at 5.0 against Sophia's 4.7. Sophia's advantage is ratings volume (174 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sophia sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Micabo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Micabo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sophia has 174 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
