# Escape #4 vs Deep Space Escape

The clearest difference is rating: Deep Space Escape at 4.2 against Escape #4's 3.4. Deep Space Escape also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (182 vs 5). Escape #4's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Escape #4 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Deep Space Escape sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Deep Space Escape holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deep Space Escape has 182 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Escape #4's written reviews are positive against 77% of Deep Space Escape's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
