# WeCroak vs VARIS

The clearest difference is rating: VARIS at 5.0 against WeCroak's 4.0. VARIS also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%). WeCroak's advantage is ratings volume (377 vs 2) and device support (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WeCroak sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and VARIS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

VARIS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeCroak has 377 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of WeCroak's written reviews are positive against 100% of VARIS's.
