# Ptera vs TruDash

The clearest difference is ratings volume: TruDash at 5 against Ptera's 1. Ptera's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ptera sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and TruDash sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Ptera against 5.0 for TruDash. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TruDash has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
