# iLocation vs Location Tool

The clearest difference is rating: iLocation at 4.3 against Location Tool's 2.0. iLocation also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 4). Location Tool's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Location Tool sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. iLocation asks for nothing beyond the download.
