# HTTPBot vs flutter pad

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HTTPBot at 56% against flutter pad's 0%. HTTPBot also leads on rating (4.5 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). flutter pad's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HTTPBot sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. flutter pad asks for nothing beyond the download.

HTTPBot holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0.
