# Crane & Rigger vs Trimble

The clearest difference is rating: Trimble at 3.4 against Crane & Rigger's 1.4. Trimble also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Crane & Rigger's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 22%) and iOS requirement (8.2 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crane & Rigger sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 3 months. Trimble asks for nothing beyond the download.

Trimble holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 29 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Crane & Rigger's written reviews are positive against 22% of Trimble's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
