# CSVReader vs Fast CSV Editor & Viewer

The clearest difference is rating: CSVReader at 4.6 against Fast CSV Editor & Viewer's 4.0. CSVReader also leads on ratings volume (117 vs 4) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17). Fast CSV Editor & Viewer's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CSVReader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Fast CSV Editor & Viewer asks for nothing beyond the download.

CSVReader holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CSVReader has 117 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of CSVReader's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fast CSV Editor & Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
