# BroadLink vs Telefant

The clearest difference is rating: Telefant at 5.0 against BroadLink's 4.3. Telefant also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 58%). BroadLink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Telefant sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BroadLink asks for nothing beyond the download.

Telefant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3.
