# Axon vs EchoAlert

The clearest difference is monetization model: EchoAlert at free against Axon's subscription. EchoAlert also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Axon's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

EchoAlert holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Axon has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
