# Freenove vs RaspController

The clearest difference is rating: RaspController at 4.6 against Freenove's 2.9. RaspController also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (56 vs 10). Freenove's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RaspController sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months. Freenove asks for nothing beyond the download.

RaspController holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RaspController has 56 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.
