# Apollo Intense! Too vs Playground Mod

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Apollo Intense! Too at none against Playground Mod's 10. Apollo Intense! Too also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (12 vs 15.0). Playground Mod's advantage is ratings volume (4.9K vs 3) and rating (4.0 vs 3.7). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Playground Mod sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Apollo Intense! Too asks for nothing beyond the download.

Playground Mod holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Playground Mod has 4.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Apollo Intense! Too's written reviews are positive against 56% of Playground Mod's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
