# CrossStitcher vs Stitchcraft

The clearest difference is rating: CrossStitcher at 4.6 against Stitchcraft's 1.5. CrossStitcher also leads on ratings volume (260 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CrossStitcher sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Stitchcraft sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CrossStitcher holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CrossStitcher has 260 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
