# RipCharts vs ProNav Plus

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ProNav Plus at none against RipCharts's 10. ProNav Plus also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). RipCharts's advantage is ratings volume (492 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RipCharts sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. ProNav Plus asks for nothing beyond the download.

ProNav Plus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RipCharts has 492 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of RipCharts's written reviews are positive against 100% of ProNav Plus's.
