# Enphase Enlighten vs IT8500 Plus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: IT8500 Plus at 100% against Enphase Enlighten's 43%. IT8500 Plus also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Enphase Enlighten's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (92K vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Enphase Enlighten holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Enphase Enlighten has 92K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Enphase Enlighten's written reviews are positive against 100% of IT8500 Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
