# Glowi vs LightU

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Glowi at none against LightU's 5. Glowi also leads on ads (none vs shown). LightU's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.5). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LightU sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Glowi asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Glowi against 5.0 for LightU. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LightU has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
