# Red Sky Ready vs Element

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Red Sky Ready at none against Element's 10. Red Sky Ready also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Element's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 2) and chart position (#120 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Element sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Red Sky Ready asks for nothing beyond the download.

Red Sky Ready holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Element has 1.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
