# SolarMate vs Grape Solar

The clearest difference is rating: Grape Solar at 2.7 against SolarMate's 2.1. SolarMate's advantage is review sentiment (14% vs 0%) and ratings volume (17 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Grape Solar holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SolarMate has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of SolarMate's written reviews are positive against 0% of Grape Solar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
