# Lexis® vs TranscriptPad

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TranscriptPad at 89% against Lexis®'s 23%. TranscriptPad also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (157 vs 5). Lexis®'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TranscriptPad sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $600.00 per year. Lexis® asks for nothing beyond the download.

TranscriptPad holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TranscriptPad has 157 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 23% of Lexis®'s written reviews are positive against 89% of TranscriptPad's.
