# Airport vs Airport Tycoon

The clearest difference is rating: Airport Tycoon at 4.8 against Airport's 4.0. Airport Tycoon also leads on ratings volume (184 vs 4). Airport's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Airport Tycoon sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Airport asks for nothing beyond the download.

Airport Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Airport Tycoon has 184 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Airport's written reviews are positive against 38% of Airport Tycoon's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
