# WriteIdeas vs Bar Code Scanner

The clearest difference is rating: Bar Code Scanner at 4.0 against WriteIdeas's 3.0. Bar Code Scanner also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2). WriteIdeas's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WriteIdeas sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bar Code Scanner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bar Code Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bar Code Scanner has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
