# Escape #4 vs Escape

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Escape at none against Escape #4's 1. Escape also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.8 vs 3.4). Escape #4's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 59%). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Escape #4 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Escape asks for nothing beyond the download.

Escape holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Escape has 173 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 59% of Escape's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
