# RealTime vs Centricity Research

The clearest difference is rating: Centricity Research at 5.0 against RealTime's 4.5. RealTime's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). 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.

Centricity Research holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RealTime has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
