# Tap Craft 2 vs XP Waste

The clearest difference is review sentiment: XP Waste at 100% against Tap Craft 2's 57%. XP Waste also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). Tap Craft 2's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
