# LAST CLOUDIA vs Aether Gazer

The clearest difference is ads: LAST CLOUDIA at none against Aether Gazer's shown. LAST CLOUDIA also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LAST CLOUDIA sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Aether Gazer sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
