# Program Changer vs Numpad 2

The clearest difference is price: Program Changer at Free against Numpad 2's $0.99. Program Changer also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). Numpad 2's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 67%) and ratings volume (20 vs 3). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Program Changer is free to download; Numpad 2 costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Program Changer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Numpad 2 has 20 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Program Changer's written reviews are positive against 92% of Numpad 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
