# Tone generator vs High Frequency Tones

The clearest difference is rating: High Frequency Tones at 4.7 against Tone generator's 4.0. High Frequency Tones also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (595 vs 152). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tone generator sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and High Frequency Tones sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

High Frequency Tones holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 152 and 595 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Tone generator's written reviews are positive against 64% of High Frequency Tones's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
