# Lightpage vs Day Zero

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Day Zero at none against Lightpage's 3. Lightpage's advantage is ratings volume (374 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lightpage sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Day Zero asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Lightpage against 5.0 for Day Zero. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lightpage has 374 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
