# Future History vs HandyParken München

The clearest difference is rating: HandyParken München at 4.8 against Future History's 4.2. HandyParken München also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (605 vs 10). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Future History sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. HandyParken München asks for nothing beyond the download.

HandyParken München holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HandyParken München has 605 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Future History's written reviews are positive against 63% of HandyParken München's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
