# Detective vs Spy Detector

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Detective at 98% against Spy Detector's 0%. Spy Detector's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (21 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Detective sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Spy Detector sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spy Detector holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 98% of Detective's written reviews are positive against 0% of Spy Detector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
