# DMSS vs RBVU

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RBVU at none against DMSS's 12. RBVU also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). DMSS's advantage is ratings volume (79K vs 5) and chart position (#141 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DMSS sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. RBVU asks for nothing beyond the download.

RBVU holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DMSS has 79K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of DMSS's written reviews are positive against 100% of RBVU's.
