# Flat Pack vs Shadow Trick

The clearest difference is rating: Flat Pack at 4.7 against Shadow Trick's 4.0. Flat Pack also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 32) and review sentiment (85% vs 70%). Shadow Trick's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flat Pack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Shadow Trick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flat Pack holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flat Pack has 4.4K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Flat Pack's written reviews are positive against 70% of Shadow Trick's.
