# SwitchBuddy vs Delta Legacy

The clearest difference is rating: SwitchBuddy at 4.8 against Delta Legacy's 3.2. SwitchBuddy also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 47%) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 78). Delta Legacy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SwitchBuddy sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Delta Legacy asks for nothing beyond the download.

SwitchBuddy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SwitchBuddy has 1.6K ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of SwitchBuddy's written reviews are positive against 47% of Delta Legacy's.
