# Resistor vs Capacitor

The clearest difference is rating: Capacitor at 4.8 against Resistor's 4.0. Capacitor also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and ratings volume (10 vs 1). Resistor's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Capacitor holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Capacitor has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Resistor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Capacitor's.
