# Leaderboard by IBD vs Expense Equalizer

The clearest difference is monetization model: Expense Equalizer at freemium against Leaderboard by IBD's subscription. Expense Equalizer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Leaderboard by IBD's advantage is ratings volume (5.4K vs 1) and chart position (#101 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Leaderboard by IBD sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $69.99 per month and Expense Equalizer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Expense Equalizer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Leaderboard by IBD has 5.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
