# SideMe vs Lootra

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lootra at 100% against SideMe's 70%. Lootra also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). SideMe's advantage is ratings volume (330 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SideMe sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Lootra sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lootra holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SideMe has 330 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of SideMe's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lootra's.
