# Fishing Hook vs Knife Throwing Max

The clearest difference is rating: Fishing Hook at 4.6 against Knife Throwing Max's 2.0. Fishing Hook also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Knife Throwing Max's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fishing Hook sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Knife Throwing Max sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fishing Hook holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fishing Hook has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
