# Prêt à Template vs Sketchbook®

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sketchbook® at 77% against Prêt à Template's 24%. Sketchbook® also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (221K vs 13K). Prêt à Template's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prêt à Template sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $13.90 per month and Sketchbook® sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sketchbook® holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sketchbook® has 221K ratings behind it against 13K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
