# Lighter vs Lighter 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Lighter at 4.5 against Lighter 3D's 1.0. Lighter also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 3). Lighter 3D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lighter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Lighter 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.

Lighter holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lighter has 1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
