# Lode vs CashPilot

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CashPilot at none against Lode's 3. CashPilot also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). Lode's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lode sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. CashPilot asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Lode against 5.0 for CashPilot. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lode has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
