# xkcd Lite vs Dropout

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: xkcd Lite at none against Dropout's 2. xkcd Lite also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). Dropout's advantage is ratings volume (77K vs 5) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dropout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. xkcd Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for xkcd Lite against 5.0 for Dropout. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dropout has 77K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
