# Epicenter vs QuakeList

The clearest difference is rating: Epicenter at 4.4 against QuakeList's 3.0. Epicenter also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 50%) and ratings volume (42 vs 2). QuakeList's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Epicenter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. QuakeList asks for nothing beyond the download.

Epicenter holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epicenter has 42 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Epicenter's written reviews are positive against 50% of QuakeList's.
