# Zipper Amusement Ride vs Theme Park Simulator

The clearest difference is price: Theme Park Simulator at Free against Zipper Amusement Ride's $1.99. Theme Park Simulator also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 33%) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 20). Zipper Amusement Ride's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Theme Park Simulator is free to download; Zipper Amusement Ride costs $1.99 up front. Theme Park Simulator sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Zipper Amusement Ride asks for nothing beyond the download.

Zipper Amusement Ride holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Theme Park Simulator has 2.7K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Zipper Amusement Ride's written reviews are positive against 70% of Theme Park Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
