# AiDot vs Winkstar Pro

The clearest difference is rating: AiDot at 4.7 against Winkstar Pro's 2.0. AiDot also leads on ratings volume (8.1K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Winkstar Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 20). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AiDot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Winkstar Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

AiDot holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AiDot has 8.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
