# NinjAwesome vs Overdrive II

The clearest difference is rating: NinjAwesome at 4.8 against Overdrive II's 4.0. NinjAwesome also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 57%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 48). Overdrive II's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 11 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NinjAwesome sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Overdrive II sells 10 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 4.0.
