# Root vs BotGhost

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Root at none against BotGhost's 8. Root also leads on chart position (#201 vs unranked) and ratings volume (146 vs 18). BotGhost's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 70%). On price, rating, ads and device support 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.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Root against 4.3 for BotGhost. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Root has 146 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 70% of Root's written reviews are positive against 82% of BotGhost's.
