# Morpholio Trace vs NCD

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NCD at none against Morpholio Trace's 4. NCD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Morpholio Trace's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Morpholio Trace sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. NCD asks for nothing beyond the download.

NCD holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Morpholio Trace has 11K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
