# MCF Thrivified vs My Cadence

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Cadence at 89% against MCF Thrivified's 29%. My Cadence also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.9) and ads (none vs shown). MCF Thrivified's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MCF Thrivified sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and My Cadence sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
