# OBDeleven vs VAG Coding

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VAG Coding at 79% against OBDeleven's 14%. VAG Coding also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 13) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). OBDeleven's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OBDeleven sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $69.99 per year. VAG Coding asks for nothing beyond the download.

OBDeleven holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OBDeleven has 1.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of OBDeleven's written reviews are positive against 79% of VAG Coding's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
