# Insect Identifier vs Bug Identifier App™

The clearest difference is rating: Bug Identifier App™ at 5.0 against Insect Identifier's 3.1. Bug Identifier App™ also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Insect Identifier's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Insect Identifier sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Bug Identifier App™ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bug Identifier App™ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Insect Identifier has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
