# Buddy vs WellOff

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WellOff at 100% against Buddy's 49%. WellOff also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). Buddy's advantage is ratings volume (9.6K vs 2) and chart position (#60 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Buddy sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and WellOff sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WellOff holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buddy has 9.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Buddy's written reviews are positive against 100% of WellOff's.
