# Whel vs WheelyX

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WheelyX at none against Whel's 4. Whel's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whel sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. WheelyX asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Whel against 5.0 for WheelyX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whel has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
