# KTMconnect vs RiderLab

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RiderLab at 100% against KTMconnect's 10%. RiderLab also leads on rating (5.0 vs 1.9). KTMconnect's advantage is ratings volume (114 vs 5) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KTMconnect sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and RiderLab sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
