# Genesis vs TST Tree

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TST Tree at none against Genesis's 13. Genesis's advantage is ratings volume (281 vs 15). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Genesis sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. TST Tree asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.9 for Genesis against 3.8 for TST Tree. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Genesis has 281 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of Genesis's written reviews are positive against 60% of TST Tree's.
