# Tips & Tricks vs Commands for Echo Dot & Alexa

The clearest difference is rating: Tips & Tricks at 4.8 against Commands for Echo Dot & Alexa's 4.2. Tips & Tricks also leads on ratings volume (4.1K vs 382). Commands for Echo Dot & Alexa's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tips & Tricks sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Commands for Echo Dot & Alexa sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tips & Tricks holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tips & Tricks has 4.1K ratings behind it against 382, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Tips & Tricks's written reviews are positive against 70% of Commands for Echo Dot & Alexa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
