# Qiks! vs Split Area

Qiks! and Split Area both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Split Area's written reviews are positive against 26% of Qiks!'s. Split Area also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Qiks!'s advantage is ratings volume (8.5K vs 45). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Qiks! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Split Area sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Qiks! against 4.6 for Split Area. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Qiks! has 8.5K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 26% of Qiks!'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Split Area's.
