# Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic vs Tuner Eclipse

The clearest difference is rating: Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic at 4.5 against Tuner Eclipse's 3.7. Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic also leads on ratings volume (561 vs 24). Tuner Eclipse's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 31%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Tuner Eclipse sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic has 561 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 31% of Acoustic Guitar Tuner Basic's written reviews are positive against 70% of Tuner Eclipse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
