# Monster Busters vs Sugar Witch

The clearest difference is ads: Sugar Witch at none against Monster Busters's shown. Sugar Witch also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 72%). Monster Busters's advantage is ratings volume (3.3K vs 172). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Monster Busters sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Sugar Witch sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Monster Busters against 4.8 for Sugar Witch. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Busters has 3.3K ratings behind it against 172, so its average is the more settled of the two.
