# Lighthouse vs CardPriceCheck

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CardPriceCheck at 100% against Lighthouse's 41%. CardPriceCheck also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Lighthouse's advantage is ratings volume (914 vs 6) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lighthouse sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $10.99 per 7 days and CardPriceCheck sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CardPriceCheck holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lighthouse has 914 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of Lighthouse's written reviews are positive against 100% of CardPriceCheck's.
