# TruAirspeed vs Simple Xwind

The clearest difference is rating: Simple Xwind at 5.0 against TruAirspeed's 4.1. TruAirspeed's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Simple Xwind holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of TruAirspeed's written reviews are positive against 67% of Simple Xwind's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
