# Alpha vs Contexto

The clearest difference is rating: Contexto at 4.2 against Alpha's 1.0. Contexto also leads on ratings volume (3.9K vs 2) and review sentiment (13% vs 0%). Alpha's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 14.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Contexto sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Alpha asks for nothing beyond the download.

Contexto holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Contexto has 3.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Alpha's written reviews are positive against 13% of Contexto's.
