# Fillomino Infinite vs Cracking the Cryptic

The clearest difference is price: Cracking the Cryptic at Free against Fillomino Infinite's $0.99. Cracking the Cryptic also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (210 vs 5). Fillomino Infinite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and review sentiment (100% vs 72%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Cracking the Cryptic is free to download; Fillomino Infinite costs $0.99 up front. Cracking the Cryptic sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Fillomino Infinite asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cracking the Cryptic holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cracking the Cryptic has 210 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Fillomino Infinite's written reviews are positive against 72% of Cracking the Cryptic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
