# LUMEN vs Switch panel

The clearest difference is rating: LUMEN at 3.0 against Switch panel's 1.6. LUMEN also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). Switch panel's advantage is review sentiment (15% vs 0%) and ratings volume (25 vs 2). 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.

LUMEN holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Switch panel has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of LUMEN's written reviews are positive against 15% of Switch panel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
