# Virtual Vision Test vs AMD_eye

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AMD_eye at 100% against Virtual Vision Test's 32%. AMD_eye also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Virtual Vision Test's advantage is ratings volume (19K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

AMD_eye holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Virtual Vision Test has 19K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 32% of Virtual Vision Test's written reviews are positive against 100% of AMD_eye's.
