# Receipt Lens vs Expense Linkup

The clearest difference is ads: Expense Linkup at none against Receipt Lens's shown. Expense Linkup also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Receipt Lens's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 2) and chart position (#193 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Receipt Lens sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Expense Linkup sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Expense Linkup holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Receipt Lens has 4.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
