# Exploration Lite vs Firefly Lane

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Firefly Lane at 100% against Exploration Lite's 61%. Firefly Lane also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Exploration Lite's advantage is ratings volume (23K vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Exploration Lite sells 19 one-off in-app purchases and Firefly Lane sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Firefly Lane holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exploration Lite has 23K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Exploration Lite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Firefly Lane's.
