# Arm Care vs Tread+

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tread+ at none against Arm Care's 11. Arm Care's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 92) and chart position (#182 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arm Care sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Tread+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Arm Care against 4.8 for Tread+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arm Care has 3K ratings behind it against 92, so its average is the more settled of the two.
