# Forest Master vs Card Stack

The clearest difference is rating: Card Stack at 5.0 against Forest Master's 4.5. Forest Master's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Forest Master sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Card Stack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Card Stack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 17 and 10 respectively.
