# Bond Touch vs DumbScroller

The clearest difference is rating: DumbScroller at 5.0 against Bond Touch's 4.6. Bond Touch's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bond Touch sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and DumbScroller sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DumbScroller holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bond Touch has 18K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
