# Visual Novel vs Lost Between the Lines

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Visual Novel at 90% against Lost Between the Lines's 43%. Visual Novel also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (84 vs 10). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Visual Novel sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Lost Between the Lines sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Visual Novel holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Novel has 84 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Visual Novel's written reviews are positive against 43% of Lost Between the Lines's.
