# ICS vs ResponderOS

The clearest difference is rating: ResponderOS at 5.0 against ICS's 4.2. ICS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ResponderOS sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. ICS asks for nothing beyond the download.

ResponderOS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ICS has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
