# VimKey vs Scrombler

The clearest difference is rating: Scrombler at 5.0 against VimKey's 3.4. VimKey's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VimKey sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Scrombler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scrombler holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VimKey has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
