# Glowdrift vs Skein

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Glowdrift at 5 against Skein's 1. On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Glowdrift sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Skein sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. 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 Glowdrift against 5.0 for Skein. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glowdrift has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
