# HomeTags vs MTools BLE RFID Reader

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MTools BLE RFID Reader at 75% against HomeTags's 40%. MTools BLE RFID Reader also leads on ratings volume (18 vs 4). HomeTags's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (4.0 vs 3.7). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MTools BLE RFID Reader sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. HomeTags asks for nothing beyond the download.

HomeTags holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 18 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of HomeTags's written reviews are positive against 75% of MTools BLE RFID Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
