# CSVReader vs JSON Tools

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CSVReader at 60% against JSON Tools's 0%. CSVReader also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (118 vs 12). JSON Tools's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CSVReader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. JSON Tools asks for nothing beyond the download.

CSVReader holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CSVReader has 118 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of CSVReader's written reviews are positive against 0% of JSON Tools's.
