# SteerCode vs Async.dev

The clearest difference is rating: Async.dev at 5.0 against SteerCode's 4.3. Async.dev also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). SteerCode's advantage is ratings volume (145 vs 2) and chart position (#60 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SteerCode sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days. Async.dev asks for nothing beyond the download.
