# AWS Console vs Console Server

The clearest difference is ratings volume: AWS Console at 6.1K against Console Server's 1. Console Server's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (6.1 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Console Server holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AWS Console has 6.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
