# Pac.io vs Riddles & Glory

The clearest difference is rating: Riddles & Glory at 5.0 against Pac.io's 4.2. Riddles & Glory also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pac.io's advantage is ratings volume (340 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pac.io sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Riddles & Glory sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
