# TerraMine vs Energy Foundry

The clearest difference is rating: Energy Foundry at 5.0 against TerraMine's 4.6. TerraMine's advantage is ratings volume (428 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TerraMine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Energy Foundry sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Energy Foundry holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TerraMine has 428 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
