# Whatool vs inQRedible

Whatool and inQRedible both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of inQRedible's written reviews are positive against 24% of Whatool's. inQRedible also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Whatool's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 2). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Whatool sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and inQRedible sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whatool has 70 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
