# Wildland Toolkit vs ICS

The clearest difference is price: ICS at Free against Wildland Toolkit's $5.99. ICS also leads on iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.5). Wildland Toolkit's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (330 vs 12). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ICS is free to download; Wildland Toolkit costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Wildland Toolkit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wildland Toolkit has 330 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Wildland Toolkit's written reviews are positive against 86% of ICS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
