# Apus vs Squishy

The clearest difference is rating: Squishy at 5.0 against Apus's 3.0. Squishy also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 90%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). Apus's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs paid) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Apus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Squishy sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Squishy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Apus has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Apus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Squishy's.
