# LightX vs Drop Shadow Editor

The clearest difference is rating: LightX at 4.7 against Drop Shadow Editor's 3.9. LightX also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 7) and device support. Drop Shadow Editor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LightX sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Drop Shadow Editor asks for nothing beyond the download.

LightX holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LightX has 33K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
