# iBeta vs XR

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XR at none against iBeta's 5. XR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). iBeta's advantage is ratings volume (160 vs 1) and chart position (#147 vs unranked). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iBeta sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. XR asks for nothing beyond the download.

XR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iBeta has 160 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
