# N vs Recyclify

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Recyclify at none against N's 7. Recyclify also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). N's advantage is ratings volume (239 vs 5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. N sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Recyclify asks for nothing beyond the download.

Recyclify holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: N has 239 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of N's written reviews are positive against 100% of Recyclify's.
