# LDL vs LDL Reduction

The clearest difference is rating: LDL Reduction at 5.0 against LDL's 3.3. LDL Reduction also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). LDL's advantage is ratings volume (17 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LDL sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. LDL Reduction asks for nothing beyond the download.

LDL Reduction holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LDL has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
