# Smash the Dummy vs Skeleton Dance Party

The clearest difference is rating: Smash the Dummy at 4.6 against Skeleton Dance Party's 3.2. Smash the Dummy also leads on ratings volume (445 vs 5). Skeleton Dance Party's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and in-app purchases (none vs 10). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smash the Dummy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Skeleton Dance Party asks for nothing beyond the download.

Smash the Dummy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smash the Dummy has 445 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Smash the Dummy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Skeleton Dance Party's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
