# Root vs BotGhost

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Root at none against BotGhost's 8. Root also leads on chart position (#112 vs unranked) and ratings volume (107 vs 18). BotGhost's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 66%) and rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BotGhost sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Root asks for nothing beyond the download.

BotGhost holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Root has 107 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 66% of Root's written reviews are positive against 82% of BotGhost's.
