# SMOBOT vs Combustion Inc.

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Combustion Inc. at 1.9K against SMOBOT's 28. Combustion Inc. also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). SMOBOT's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Combustion Inc. holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Combustion Inc. has 1.9K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of SMOBOT's written reviews are positive against 76% of Combustion Inc.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
