# RealTag vs Laser Weapons

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Laser Weapons at 86% against RealTag's 33%. Laser Weapons also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). RealTag's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RealTag sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Laser Weapons asks for nothing beyond the download.
