# W3 vs Profe

The clearest difference is rating: Profe at 5.0 against W3's 3.5. Profe also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and ads (none vs shown). W3's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. W3 sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Profe asks for nothing beyond the download.

Profe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: W3 has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of W3's written reviews are positive against 100% of Profe's.
