# SpareRoom vs Moving Box Tracker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: SpareRoom at 4.2K against Moving Box Tracker's 2. SpareRoom also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Moving Box Tracker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpareRoom sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Moving Box Tracker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Moving Box Tracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpareRoom has 4.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
