# PURE vs Garden Diary

The clearest difference is monetization model: Garden Diary at free with in-app purchases against PURE's subscription. PURE's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (28% vs 0%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PURE sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Garden Diary sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
