# Tru vs Source BT

The clearest difference is rating: Source BT at 4.3 against Tru's 2.9. Source BT also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Tru's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Source BT holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Tru's written reviews are positive against 0% of Source BT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
