# Value Scout vs FlipSift

The clearest difference is rating: FlipSift at 5.0 against Value Scout's 4.4. Value Scout's advantage is ratings volume (619 vs 1) and chart position (#19 vs #189). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Value Scout sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and FlipSift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
