# RealTime vs CRA Assistant

The clearest difference is rating: CRA Assistant at 5.0 against RealTime's 4.5. RealTime's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CRA Assistant sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. RealTime asks for nothing beyond the download.

CRA Assistant 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 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
