# TLDL vs Cram Study

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cram Study at 100% against TLDL's 73%. Cram Study also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). TLDL's advantage is ratings volume (6.7K vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TLDL sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Cram Study sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cram Study holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TLDL has 6.7K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of TLDL's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cram Study's.
