# Hawk Player vs Beebox

The clearest difference is price: Beebox at Free against Hawk Player's $17.99. Beebox also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Hawk Player's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Beebox is free to download; Hawk Player costs $17.99 up front. Hawk Player sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Beebox sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Beebox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hawk Player has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
