# ZoneWatch vs StripScout

The clearest difference is rating: StripScout at 5.0 against ZoneWatch's 4.1. StripScout also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 58%). ZoneWatch's advantage is chart position (#93 vs unranked) and ratings volume (47 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ZoneWatch sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and StripScout sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

StripScout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZoneWatch has 47 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of ZoneWatch's written reviews are positive against 100% of StripScout's.
