# Fictif vs Later Daters

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Fictif at 1.1K against Later Daters's 15. Later Daters's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 61%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fictif sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Later Daters sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Later Daters holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fictif has 1.1K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 61% of Fictif's written reviews are positive against 80% of Later Daters's.
