# Mistar vs TLDL

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mistar at none against TLDL's 10. Mistar also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). TLDL's advantage is ratings volume (7.3K vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TLDL sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Mistar asks for nothing beyond the download.

TLDL holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TLDL has 7.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
