# Scale vs Bouncy Hills

Scale and Bouncy Hills both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Bouncy Hills's written reviews are positive against 55% of Scale's. Scale's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (50K vs 4.9K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scale has 50K ratings behind it against 4.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 55% of Scale's written reviews are positive against 88% of Bouncy Hills's.
