# 传图识字 vs Text Extractor

The clearest difference is ads: Text Extractor at none against 传图识字's shown. Text Extractor also leads on ratings volume (32 vs 3). 传图识字's advantage is review sentiment (96% vs 71%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 传图识字 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Text Extractor sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

传图识字 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Extractor has 32 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
