# fade! vs Line Up

The clearest difference is rating: fade! at 4.3 against Line Up's 3.0. fade! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (107 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. fade! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Line Up sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

fade! holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: fade! has 107 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
