# Cluster vs Spectrio SHARE

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spectrio SHARE at none against Cluster's 6. Spectrio SHARE also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Cluster's advantage is ratings volume (22K vs 7). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cluster sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Spectrio SHARE asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Cluster against 4.7 for Spectrio SHARE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cluster has 22K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
