# Enclave vs Dots Agent

The clearest difference is ads: Enclave at none against Dots Agent's shown. Enclave also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 2). Dots Agent's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Enclave sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Dots Agent sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dots Agent holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Enclave has 1.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
