# Dry Quest vs CTRL

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dry Quest at 30 against CTRL's 4. CTRL's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dry Quest sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and CTRL sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Dry Quest against 5.0 for CTRL. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dry Quest has 30 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 92% of Dry Quest's written reviews are positive against 100% of CTRL's.
