# 在哪儿GPS vs BatChat

The clearest difference is rating: 在哪儿GPS at 5.0 against BatChat's 3.5. 在哪儿GPS also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). BatChat's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (99 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 在哪儿GPS sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and BatChat sells 27 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

在哪儿GPS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BatChat has 99 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of 在哪儿GPS's written reviews are positive against 86% of BatChat's.
