# Live Lightning vs Lightning Tracker My Radar Map

The clearest difference is rating: Lightning Tracker My Radar Map at 4.4 against Live Lightning's 2.9. Lightning Tracker My Radar Map also leads on ratings volume (232 vs 10). Live Lightning's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lightning Tracker My Radar Map sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Live Lightning asks for nothing beyond the download.

Lightning Tracker My Radar Map holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lightning Tracker My Radar Map has 232 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Live Lightning's written reviews are positive against 17% of Lightning Tracker My Radar Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
