# Life Total vs Void Command

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Void Command at 100% against Life Total's 60%. Void Command also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Life Total's advantage is ratings volume (7.3K vs 4) and chart position (#204 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Life Total sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Void Command sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Void Command holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Life Total has 7.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
