# Dark Draft vs Highland Pro

The clearest difference is price: Highland Pro at Free against Dark Draft's $0.99. Highland Pro also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and device support. Dark Draft's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Highland Pro is free to download; Dark Draft costs $0.99 up front. Highland Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Dark Draft asks for nothing beyond the download.

Highland Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Dark Draft's written reviews are positive against 46% of Highland Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
