# BASIC vs Lambda calculus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lambda calculus at 100% against BASIC's 28%. Lambda calculus also leads on price (Free vs $2.99). BASIC's advantage is rating (2.7 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (7 vs 2). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Lambda calculus is free to download; BASIC costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

BASIC holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of BASIC's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lambda calculus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
