# Jacks 2 vs Pin Rescue

The clearest difference is rating: Pin Rescue at 4.5 against Jacks 2's 3.0. Pin Rescue also leads on review sentiment (28% vs 0%) and ratings volume (136K vs 5). Jacks 2's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jacks 2 sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Pin Rescue sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pin Rescue holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pin Rescue has 136K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Jacks 2's written reviews are positive against 28% of Pin Rescue's.
