# AWC Faces vs Simple Complications

The clearest difference is rating: AWC Faces at 4.6 against Simple Complications's 3.4. AWC Faces also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 14) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
