# Battery Watcher vs GloriousBattery

The clearest difference is rating: GloriousBattery at 5.0 against Battery Watcher's 4.5. GloriousBattery also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 18.6). Battery Watcher's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (338 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Battery Watcher sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and GloriousBattery sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
