# ANOTHER EDEN vs The Codex

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Codex at none against ANOTHER EDEN's 14. The Codex also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). ANOTHER EDEN's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 3) and chart position (#162 vs unranked). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ANOTHER EDEN sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month. The Codex asks for nothing beyond the download.

The Codex holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ANOTHER EDEN has 24K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of ANOTHER EDEN's written reviews are positive against 100% of The Codex's.
