# Identity V vs Tokyo Debunker

The clearest difference is ads: Tokyo Debunker at none against Identity V's shown. Tokyo Debunker also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 43%). Identity V's advantage is ratings volume (133K vs 18K) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Identity V sells 20 one-off in-app purchases and Tokyo Debunker sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Identity V against 4.7 for Tokyo Debunker.
