# Mobile Data vs Device Settings

The clearest difference is rating: Mobile Data at 5.0 against Device Settings's 4.1. Mobile Data also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Device Settings's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Device Settings sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Mobile Data asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mobile Data holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1.
