# Recon vs Web Forensics Instant

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Web Forensics Instant at none against Recon's 5. Web Forensics Instant also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Recon's advantage is ratings volume (275 vs 1) and device support. On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Recon sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $99.99 per month. Web Forensics Instant asks for nothing beyond the download.

Web Forensics Instant holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recon has 275 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Recon's written reviews are positive against 100% of Web Forensics Instant's.
