# Tuner+ vs Tuner Eclipse

The clearest difference is rating: Tuner+ at 4.7 against Tuner Eclipse's 3.7. Tuner+ also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 24) and review sentiment (82% vs 70%). Tuner Eclipse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.1 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tuner+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tuner Eclipse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tuner+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tuner+ has 1.1K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Tuner+'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Tuner Eclipse's.
