# Be The President vs StateFlo

The clearest difference is ads: StateFlo at none against Be The President's shown. StateFlo also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Be The President's advantage is ratings volume (160 vs 16) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Be The President sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and StateFlo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Be The President has 160 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two.
