# Design Lab vs Omber

The clearest difference is rating: Design Lab at 4.7 against Omber's 2.4. Design Lab also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 50%) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 7). Omber's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Design Lab sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Omber sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Design Lab has 6.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
