# Cadence vs Route Glow

The clearest difference is rating: Route Glow at 5.0 against Cadence's 3.5. Cadence's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.5 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cadence sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Route Glow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Route Glow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cadence has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
