# Thalamus vs PedScripts

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PedScripts at 38% against Thalamus's 6%. PedScripts also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Thalamus's advantage is rating (3.8 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (480 vs 14). 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.

Thalamus holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thalamus has 480 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Thalamus's written reviews are positive against 38% of PedScripts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
