# Tiny Rugby vs Soccer Empire

The clearest difference is rating: Soccer Empire at 4.8 against Tiny Rugby's 4.0. Soccer Empire also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 12). Tiny Rugby's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Rugby sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Soccer Empire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Soccer Empire holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Soccer Empire has 2.2K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 50% and 50% positive.
