# Value Identifier vs PickerScope

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PickerScope at 100% against Value Identifier's 0%. PickerScope also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Value Identifier's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Value Identifier sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and PickerScope sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
