# Botworld Adventure vs Waven

The clearest difference is ads: Waven at none against Botworld Adventure's shown. Botworld Adventure's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (7.8K vs 356). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Botworld Adventure sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Waven sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
