# Scrib vs CiteSight

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Scrib at 177 against CiteSight's 2. CiteSight's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scrib sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and CiteSight sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CiteSight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scrib has 177 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
