# Compose vs Craft

The clearest difference is rating: Craft at 4.8 against Compose's 3.9. Craft also leads on ratings volume (6.6K vs 7) and review sentiment (85% vs 67%). Compose's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Compose asks for nothing beyond the download.

Craft holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft has 6.6K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Compose's written reviews are positive against 85% of Craft's.
