# PinOut! vs kaboomee

The clearest difference is rating: kaboomee at 5.0 against PinOut!'s 4.2. kaboomee also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). PinOut!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PinOut! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and kaboomee sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
