# RISE vs Primal Instinct

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Primal Instinct at none against RISE's 15. Primal Instinct also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (11.0.0 vs 15.1). RISE's advantage is ratings volume (72K vs 1) and chart position (#9 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RISE sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Primal Instinct asks for nothing beyond the download.

Primal Instinct holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RISE has 72K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
