# Getinself vs Cape

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cape at 58% against Getinself's 12%. Cape also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.8) and ads (none vs shown). Getinself's advantage is iOS requirement (12 vs 17.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
