# BooAlert vs Ghost Hunting Tools

The clearest difference is rating: Ghost Hunting Tools at 4.2 against BooAlert's 3.4. Ghost Hunting Tools also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 31 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 15). BooAlert's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0).

Both are free to download. BooAlert sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ghost Hunting Tools sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
