# Web Inspector vs Developer Pocket

The clearest difference is rating: Developer Pocket at 5.0 against Web Inspector's 3.9. Web Inspector's advantage is ratings volume (152 vs 1) and chart position (#50 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.
