# Rocket Cows vs Light the Sea

The clearest difference is rating: Light the Sea at 4.8 against Rocket Cows's 3.0. Light the Sea also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 44%) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). Rocket Cows's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rocket Cows sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Light the Sea sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
