# Fireboy & Watergirl vs Tricky Castle

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tricky Castle at 85% against Fireboy & Watergirl's 39%. Tricky Castle also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.4) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 257). Fireboy & Watergirl's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fireboy & Watergirl sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tricky Castle sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tricky Castle holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4.
