# C++ IDE Fresh Edition vs Hacker Read

The clearest difference is rating: Hacker Read at 5.0 against C++ IDE Fresh Edition's 4.5. C++ IDE Fresh Edition's advantage is ratings volume (63 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. C++ IDE Fresh Edition sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hacker Read sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hacker Read holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: C++ IDE Fresh Edition has 63 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
