# Stellar Drift vs AEON

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stellar Drift at none against AEON's 1. Stellar Drift also leads on ads (none vs shown). AEON's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AEON sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Stellar Drift asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Stellar Drift against 5.0 for AEON. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AEON has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
