# Ecto2 vs Ghost Detector

The clearest difference is price: Ghost Detector at Free against Ecto2's $2.99. Ghost Detector also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Ecto2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (73% vs 60%). On ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Ghost Detector is free to download; Ecto2 costs $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Ghost Detector holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 33 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Ecto2's written reviews are positive against 60% of Ghost Detector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
