# Lode vs Clio

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clio at none against Lode's 3. Clio 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. Clio 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 Clio. 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.
