# Jelly Dream vs Backyard Apollo AR

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Backyard Apollo AR at none against Jelly Dream's 3. Backyard Apollo AR also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 49). Jelly Dream's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jelly Dream sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Backyard Apollo AR asks for nothing beyond the download.

Backyard Apollo AR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backyard Apollo AR has 1.5K ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Jelly Dream's written reviews are positive against 70% of Backyard Apollo AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
