# MH World Database vs MHWilds Guide

The clearest difference is rating: MHWilds Guide at 4.8 against MH World Database's 4.0. MH World Database's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MHWilds Guide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MH World Database asks for nothing beyond the download.

MHWilds Guide holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 46 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of MH World Database's written reviews are positive against 48% of MHWilds Guide's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
