# Cafe Rio vs BrushBite

The clearest difference is rating: BrushBite at 5.0 against Cafe Rio's 4.5. Cafe Rio's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (15K vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BrushBite sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Cafe Rio asks for nothing beyond the download.
