# Lux Draw vs Light Tablet

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Light Tablet at none against Lux Draw's 6. Light Tablet also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Lux Draw's advantage is ratings volume (939 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lux Draw sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Light Tablet asks for nothing beyond the download.

Light Tablet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lux Draw has 939 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Lux Draw's written reviews are positive against 100% of Light Tablet's.
