# Drop2Shop vs Arcade Hole

The clearest difference is rating: Arcade Hole at 4.7 against Drop2Shop's 3.5. Arcade Hole also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and ratings volume (20K vs 11). Drop2Shop's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Drop2Shop sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Arcade Hole sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Arcade Hole holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arcade Hole has 20K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Drop2Shop's written reviews are positive against 33% of Arcade Hole's.
