# Ask Local. vs GuideMe

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ask Local. at none against GuideMe's 1. Ask Local. also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.5). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GuideMe sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $49.99 per month. Ask Local. asks for nothing beyond the download.
