# Snakebird vs Pathi

The clearest difference is rating: Pathi at 4.6 against Snakebird's 3.8. Snakebird's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snakebird sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pathi sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pathi holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 708 and 1.2K respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of Snakebird's written reviews are positive against 71% of Pathi's.
