# Core Shell vs Bash IDE Fresh Edition

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bash IDE Fresh Edition at 100% against Core Shell's 38%. Bash IDE Fresh Edition also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (14 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Core Shell sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Bash IDE Fresh Edition sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bash IDE Fresh Edition holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bash IDE Fresh Edition has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of Core Shell's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bash IDE Fresh Edition's.
