# WIRED vs RuntimeWire

The clearest difference is ads: RuntimeWire at none against WIRED's shown. RuntimeWire also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). WIRED's advantage is ratings volume (51 vs 1) and chart position (#74 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

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

RuntimeWire holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WIRED has 51 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
