# Exegesis vs Colophon

Exegesis and Colophon both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Exegesis's written reviews are positive against 67% of Colophon's. Exegesis also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). Colophon's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Exegesis sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Colophon sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exegesis has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
