# Shape.Me vs Hexoboy

The clearest difference is rating: Hexoboy at 4.7 against Shape.Me's 3.0. Hexoboy also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 50%) and ratings volume (47 vs 2). Shape.Me's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shape.Me sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Hexoboy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hexoboy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hexoboy has 47 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Shape.Me's written reviews are positive against 91% of Hexoboy's.
