# Spiders Augmented Reality vs iNaturalist

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spiders Augmented Reality at 100% against iNaturalist's 48%. Spiders Augmented Reality also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). iNaturalist's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (664 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

iNaturalist holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iNaturalist has 664 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Spiders Augmented Reality's written reviews are positive against 48% of iNaturalist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
