# App Reviews vs Connected

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Connected at none against App Reviews's 4. Connected also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). App Reviews's advantage is ratings volume (74 vs 1) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. App Reviews sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days. Connected asks for nothing beyond the download.

Connected holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App Reviews has 74 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
