# 听了么 vs StoryCodex

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 听了么 at none against StoryCodex's 6. 听了么 also leads on ads (none vs shown). StoryCodex's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StoryCodex sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. 听了么 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for 听了么 against 5.0 for StoryCodex. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StoryCodex has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
