# AlexConnects vs Resume Star

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AlexConnects at none against Resume Star's 3. AlexConnects also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). Resume Star's advantage is ratings volume (17K vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Resume Star sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. AlexConnects asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for AlexConnects against 4.9 for Resume Star. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Resume Star has 17K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
