# Flow Free vs Stack Town

The clearest difference is ads: Stack Town at none against Flow Free's shown. Stack Town also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Flow Free's advantage is ratings volume (5.2K vs 8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow Free sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Stack Town sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stack Town holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow Free has 5.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Flow Free's written reviews are positive against 100% of Stack Town's.
