# Picture Insect vs Spiders Augmented Reality

The clearest difference is rating: Picture Insect at 4.6 against Spiders Augmented Reality's 3.0. Picture Insect also leads on ratings volume (44K vs 2) and chart position (#46 vs unranked). Spiders Augmented Reality's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and review sentiment (100% vs 76%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Picture Insect sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Spiders Augmented Reality asks for nothing beyond the download.

Picture Insect holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Picture Insect has 44K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Picture Insect's written reviews are positive against 100% of Spiders Augmented Reality's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
