# MinersPal vs Virtual

The clearest difference is rating: MinersPal at 4.6 against Virtual's 1.0. MinersPal also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Virtual's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MinersPal sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Virtual sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MinersPal holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MinersPal has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
