# Detroit Connected vs Abide

The clearest difference is ads: Detroit Connected at none against Abide's shown. Detroit Connected also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (4 vs 2). Abide's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 1) and chart position (#69 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Detroit Connected against 4.9 for Abide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Abide has 15K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Detroit Connected's written reviews are positive against 95% of Abide's.
