# AiDot vs Before Us

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Before Us at none against AiDot's 10. Before Us also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). AiDot's advantage is ratings volume (8.1K vs 1) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). 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. Before Us asks for nothing beyond the download.

Before Us holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. 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.
