# WiFi+Transfer vs Hotspot Planet

The clearest difference is ads: Hotspot Planet at none against WiFi+Transfer's shown. Hotspot Planet also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (732 vs 18). WiFi+Transfer's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 32%) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
