# Mobile WSU vs Laureata

The clearest difference is rating: Laureata at 4.7 against Mobile WSU's 2.7. Laureata also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Mobile WSU's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and review sentiment (33% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Laureata holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 6 respectively.
