# Tranquil vs Lilo

The clearest difference is rating: Lilo at 4.7 against Tranquil's 2.5. Lilo also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Tranquil's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 66%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tranquil sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Lilo sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lilo holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lilo has 4.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tranquil's written reviews are positive against 66% of Lilo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
