# Police Scanner + vs JP's Traffic

The clearest difference is review sentiment: JP's Traffic at 100% against Police Scanner +'s 53%. JP's Traffic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Police Scanner +'s advantage is ratings volume (102K vs 8) and chart position (#71 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Police Scanner + sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and JP's Traffic sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

JP's Traffic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Police Scanner + has 102K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of Police Scanner +'s written reviews are positive against 100% of JP's Traffic's.
