# LiquidText vs MuseView

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MuseView at 100% against LiquidText's 50%. MuseView also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). LiquidText's advantage is ratings volume (6.4K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiquidText sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month and MuseView sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MuseView holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiquidText has 6.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of LiquidText's written reviews are positive against 100% of MuseView's.
