# WikEM vs Surgerize

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Surgerize at none against WikEM's 10. Surgerize also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). WikEM's advantage is ratings volume (4.8K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WikEM sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Surgerize asks for nothing beyond the download.

Surgerize holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WikEM has 4.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
