# StormNet vs StationDeck

The clearest difference is update cadence: StationDeck at every 4 days against StormNet's every 2 months. StormNet's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for StormNet against 5.0 for StationDeck. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StormNet has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
