# Theosis vs Synaxis

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Theosis at none against Synaxis's 1. Theosis also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Synaxis's advantage is ratings volume (66 vs 1). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Synaxis sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Theosis asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Theosis against 4.9 for Synaxis. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Synaxis has 66 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
