# Power NW vs Tide

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Power NW at none against Tide's 2. Power NW also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.2 vs 17.0). Tide's advantage is ratings volume (216 vs 1). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tide sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Power NW asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Power NW against 4.9 for Tide. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tide has 216 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
