# iModelKit Light vs New Recruit

The clearest difference is rating: New Recruit at 4.9 against iModelKit Light's 4.2. New Recruit also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (689 vs 34). iModelKit Light's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iModelKit Light sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and New Recruit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $35.00 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

New Recruit holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: New Recruit has 689 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of iModelKit Light's written reviews are positive against 87% of New Recruit's.
