# Hero vs LastDose

The clearest difference is rating: Hero at 4.7 against LastDose's 4.0. Hero also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (11K vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LastDose sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Hero asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hero has 11K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
