# BayWatch vs PlaneBase

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PlaneBase at none against BayWatch's 6. PlaneBase also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). BayWatch's advantage is ratings volume (414 vs 1) and chart position (#175 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BayWatch sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. PlaneBase asks for nothing beyond the download.

PlaneBase holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BayWatch has 414 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
