# Cost Estimator vs Dime

The clearest difference is rating: Cost Estimator at 4.6 against Dime's 4.0. Cost Estimator also leads on ratings volume (353 vs 1) and chart position (#163 vs unranked). Dime's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cost Estimator sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Dime sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cost Estimator holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cost Estimator has 353 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
