# Bond Touch vs The Connection Community

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Connection Community at none against Bond Touch's 6. The Connection Community also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Bond Touch's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (18K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bond Touch sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. The Connection Community asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Connection Community holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bond Touch has 18K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
