# Sokobond vs Recursive

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sokobond at none against Recursive's 3. Sokobond also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Recursive's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and price ($2.99 vs $5.99). On ratings volume, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Sokobond costs $5.99 and Recursive $2.99 up front. Recursive sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Sokobond asks for nothing beyond the download.

Recursive holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 28 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Sokobond's written reviews are positive against 71% of Recursive's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
