# Anime Maker vs Scouting Device

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scouting Device at none against Anime Maker's 4. Scouting Device also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.7 vs 3.4). Anime Maker's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 6) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anime Maker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Scouting Device asks for nothing beyond the download.

Scouting Device holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anime Maker has 1.1K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
