# TEDConnect vs TEDICT LITE

The clearest difference is ratings volume: TEDICT LITE at 620 against TEDConnect's 18. TEDConnect's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for TEDConnect against 4.8 for TEDICT LITE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TEDICT LITE has 620 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two.
