# Meld vs Digit 3D CAD

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Digit 3D CAD at 94% against Meld's 50%. Digit 3D CAD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.5). Meld's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meld sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Digit 3D CAD sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Digit 3D CAD holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meld has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Meld's written reviews are positive against 94% of Digit 3D CAD's.
