# The Scam vs Loop Coaster

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Scam at 71% against Loop Coaster's 0%. The Scam also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (60 vs 15). Loop Coaster's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 3.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Scam sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Loop Coaster sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Loop Coaster holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 60 and 15 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of The Scam's written reviews are positive against 0% of Loop Coaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
