# *Tap Tap* vs Canvas Run

The clearest difference is review sentiment: *Tap Tap* at 100% against Canvas Run's 29%. *Tap Tap* also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Canvas Run's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (35K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Canvas Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. *Tap Tap* asks for nothing beyond the download.

Canvas Run holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canvas Run has 35K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of *Tap Tap*'s written reviews are positive against 29% of Canvas Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
