# App vs TankLab

The clearest difference is ratings volume: App at 17 against TankLab's 2. App also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and TankLab sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for App against 5.0 for TankLab. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: App has 17 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
