# Motivation vs ChalkMark

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChalkMark at none against Motivation's 14. ChalkMark also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Motivation's advantage is ratings volume (1.1M vs 1) and chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Motivation sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. ChalkMark asks for nothing beyond the download.

ChalkMark holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Motivation has 1.1M ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
