# Linux Magazine vs XDC 2023

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XDC 2023 at none against Linux Magazine's 38. Linux Magazine's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.2 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Linux Magazine sells 37 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. XDC 2023 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Linux Magazine against 5.0 for XDC 2023. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Linux Magazine has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
