# GeoBallistics vs Half

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GeoBallistics at 65% against Half's 10%. GeoBallistics also leads on price (Free vs $1.99). Half's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

GeoBallistics is free to download; Half costs $1.99 up front. GeoBallistics sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Half asks for nothing beyond the download.

Half holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 247 and 140 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of GeoBallistics's written reviews are positive against 10% of Half's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
