# Word Lanes vs Rootify

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Rootify at 100% against Word Lanes's 56%. Rootify also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Word Lanes's advantage is ratings volume (41K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Word Lanes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Rootify sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rootify holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Word Lanes has 41K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Word Lanes's written reviews are positive against 100% of Rootify's.
