# textPlus vs Range Dash

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Range Dash at none against textPlus's 13. Range Dash also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). textPlus's advantage is ratings volume (272K vs 1) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. textPlus sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Range Dash asks for nothing beyond the download.

Range Dash holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: textPlus has 272K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
