# Secret Santa vs Intercambio

The clearest difference is rating: Secret Santa at 4.7 against Intercambio's 4.0. Secret Santa also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 4). Intercambio's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Secret Santa sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Intercambio asks for nothing beyond the download.

Secret Santa holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Secret Santa has 2.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 40% and 40% positive.
