# Inner Circle vs Lux Manager

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lux Manager at none against Inner Circle's 10. Lux Manager also leads on review sentiment (41% vs 26%) and iOS requirement (8.4 vs 16.0). Inner Circle's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 10) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inner Circle sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $13.99 per 7 days. Lux Manager asks for nothing beyond the download.

Inner Circle holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inner Circle has 10K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Inner Circle's written reviews are positive against 41% of Lux Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
