# Xray Anatomy vs Basic Radiology

The clearest difference is monetization model: Basic Radiology at free with in-app purchases against Xray Anatomy's subscription. Basic Radiology also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (50% vs 27%). Xray Anatomy's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 159) and chart position (#124 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Xray Anatomy sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Basic Radiology sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Basic Radiology holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xray Anatomy has 1.5K ratings behind it against 159, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of Xray Anatomy's written reviews are positive against 50% of Basic Radiology's.
