# CTA Dex vs GO Raid Party

CTA Dex and GO Raid Party both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of CTA Dex's written reviews are positive against 44% of GO Raid Party's. CTA Dex also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). GO Raid Party's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 1.2K) and chart position (#107 vs unranked).

Both are free to download. CTA Dex sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and GO Raid Party sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for CTA Dex against 4.8 for GO Raid Party. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GO Raid Party has 28K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
