# WalkingPad+ vs laufmaus

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: laufmaus at none against WalkingPad+'s 2. laufmaus also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (33% vs 11%). WalkingPad+'s advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (317 vs 3). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WalkingPad+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. laufmaus asks for nothing beyond the download.

WalkingPad+ holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WalkingPad+ has 317 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of WalkingPad+'s written reviews are positive against 33% of laufmaus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
