# Alpha Omega vs Letteroll

The clearest difference is ads: Letteroll at none against Alpha Omega's shown. Letteroll also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Alpha Omega's advantage is ratings volume (5.7K vs 34). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Alpha Omega sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Letteroll sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
