# Radio Commander vs Hello Tower

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Radio Commander at none against Hello Tower's 5. Radio Commander also leads on chart position (#197 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). Hello Tower's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and price ($2.99 vs $4.99). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Radio Commander costs $4.99 and Hello Tower $2.99 up front. Hello Tower sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Radio Commander asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hello Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 34 and 66 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Radio Commander's written reviews are positive against 71% of Hello Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
