# Mushroom Identification ++ vs Mushroom Identifier

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mushroom Identification ++ at 97% against Mushroom Identifier's 50%. Mushroom Identification ++ also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). Mushroom Identifier's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 1.8) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mushroom Identification ++ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Mushroom Identifier sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mushroom Identifier holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mushroom Identifier has 38 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Mushroom Identification ++'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Mushroom Identifier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
