# Self vs SpyTracker

The clearest difference is rating: SpyTracker at 4.5 against Self's 3.0. SpyTracker also leads on ratings volume (808 vs 7). Self's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Self sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and SpyTracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SpyTracker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpyTracker has 808 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 14% of Self's written reviews are positive against 19% of SpyTracker's.
