# Lightghost vs Particle.ly

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lightghost at 86% against Particle.ly's 0%. Lightghost also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Particle.ly's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.3) and ratings volume (150 vs 12). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lightghost sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Particle.ly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Particle.ly holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Particle.ly has 150 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Lightghost's written reviews are positive against 0% of Particle.ly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
