# Tracing Animals vs Cursive

The clearest difference is rating: Cursive at 4.5 against Tracing Animals's 3.3. Cursive also leads on ratings volume (4.9K vs 4). Tracing Animals's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tracing Animals sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cursive sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cursive holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cursive has 4.9K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
