# Radar Pro vs Solstix

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Solstix at 100% against Radar Pro's 63%. Solstix also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Radar Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (167 vs 3). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solstix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Radar Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.
