# Stud Finder vs Stud Finder Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Stud Finder Plus at 5.0 against Stud Finder's 4.0. Stud Finder's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (101 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stud Finder sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Stud Finder Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stud Finder Plus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stud Finder has 101 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
