# Sketch Lua vs C Compiler

The clearest difference is rating: C Compiler at 4.3 against Sketch Lua's 3.7. C Compiler also leads on ratings volume (112 vs 30). Sketch Lua's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. C Compiler sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Sketch Lua asks for nothing beyond the download.

C Compiler holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 30 and 112 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Sketch Lua's written reviews are positive against 59% of C Compiler's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
