# iBidline vs CrewRest+

The clearest difference is rating: CrewRest+ at 5.0 against iBidline's 4.8. iBidline's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iBidline sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CrewRest+ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CrewRest+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iBidline has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
