# Swipe.io vs Blob io

The clearest difference is rating: Blob io at 4.5 against Swipe.io's 3.4. Blob io also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 38%) and ratings volume (15K vs 36). Swipe.io's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Swipe.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Blob io sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blob io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blob io has 15K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Swipe.io's written reviews are positive against 70% of Blob io's.
