# Web Inspector vs JSONSpruce

The clearest difference is rating: JSONSpruce at 5.0 against Web Inspector's 3.9. JSONSpruce also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%). Web Inspector's advantage is ratings volume (152 vs 1) and chart position (#53 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

JSONSpruce holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9.
