# GeekSmart vs MiniLight

The clearest difference is rating: GeekSmart at 2.9 against MiniLight's 2.6. GeekSmart also leads on ratings volume (185 vs 19). MiniLight's advantage is review sentiment (36% vs 11%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). 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.

GeekSmart holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GeekSmart has 185 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of GeekSmart's written reviews are positive against 36% of MiniLight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
