# Find My Device vs BlueScout

The clearest difference is rating: BlueScout at 5.0 against Find My Device's 4.5. Find My Device's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BlueScout sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Find My Device asks for nothing beyond the download.

BlueScout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find My Device has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
