# Bowelog vs Code Red

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bowelog at none against Code Red's 1. Bowelog also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.5). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Code Red sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Bowelog asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Bowelog against 5.0 for Code Red. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bowelog has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
