# NinjAwesome vs Drop Wizard Tower

The clearest difference is review sentiment: NinjAwesome at 93% against Drop Wizard Tower's 51%. NinjAwesome also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 86). Drop Wizard Tower's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NinjAwesome sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Drop Wizard Tower sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

NinjAwesome holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NinjAwesome has 1.1K ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two.
