# Volcom vs LocalShopper

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Volcom at 1.6K against LocalShopper's 1. LocalShopper's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Volcom against 5.0 for LocalShopper. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Volcom has 1.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
