# Matterport vs Theta 3D

The clearest difference is monetization model: Theta 3D at free against Matterport's free with in-app purchases. Theta 3D also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 18.0). Matterport's advantage is ratings volume (4.2K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Theta 3D holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Matterport has 4.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
