# mySugr vs Test Buddy

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Test Buddy at none against mySugr's 2. Test Buddy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 26.2). mySugr's advantage is ratings volume (34K vs 3) and chart position (#50 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. mySugr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Test Buddy asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for mySugr against 4.7 for Test Buddy. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mySugr has 34K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of mySugr's written reviews are positive against 100% of Test Buddy's.
