# Ohio Marijuana vs Strain Guide

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ohio Marijuana at none against Strain Guide's 4. Ohio Marijuana also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Strain Guide's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 50%) and ratings volume (917 vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Strain Guide sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Ohio Marijuana asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ohio Marijuana holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Strain Guide has 917 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Ohio Marijuana's written reviews are positive against 83% of Strain Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ohio Marijuana ships an update every 3 months, Strain Guide every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
