# MyRCSI vs Pastest

The clearest difference is rating: Pastest at 4.5 against MyRCSI's 1.0. Pastest also leads on review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and ratings volume (69 vs 2). MyRCSI's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 57) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pastest sells 53 one-off in-app purchases. MyRCSI asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pastest holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pastest has 69 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of MyRCSI's written reviews are positive against 29% of Pastest's.
