# VEX via vs Science Olympiad

The clearest difference is rating: Science Olympiad at 5.0 against VEX via's 4.1. VEX via's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2) and chart position (#204 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Science Olympiad holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VEX via has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
