# Backtest vs Snowball Analytics

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Snowball Analytics at 90% against Backtest's 25%. Snowball Analytics also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 4). Backtest's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snowball Analytics sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Backtest asks for nothing beyond the download.

Snowball Analytics holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snowball Analytics has 2.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Backtest's written reviews are positive against 90% of Snowball Analytics's.
