# ZineControl vs Imaging Console

The clearest difference is rating: Imaging Console at 5.0 against ZineControl's 4.5. ZineControl's advantage is price ($14.99 vs $19.99) and chart position (#39 vs #181). On review sentiment, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ZineControl costs $14.99 and Imaging Console $19.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Imaging Console holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of ZineControl's written reviews are positive against 86% of Imaging Console's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
