# Virtual Vision Test vs Prescription Protector

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Prescription Protector at 100% against Virtual Vision Test's 32%. Prescription Protector 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 2) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

Prescription Protector 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 2, 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 Prescription Protector's.
