# Device System Services vs Developer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Device System Services at 52% against Developer's 0%. Device System Services also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (394 vs 52). Developer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Device System Services sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Developer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Developer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Device System Services has 394 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Device System Services's written reviews are positive against 0% of Developer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
