# Comic Strip vs My Collection

The clearest difference is rating: Comic Strip at 4.5 against My Collection's 2.7. Comic Strip also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (34% vs 20%). My Collection's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Comic Strip holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Comic Strip has 2K ratings behind it against 199, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 34% of Comic Strip's written reviews are positive against 20% of My Collection's.
