# Blot Point vs Backgammon

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Blot Point at 63% against Backgammon's 18%. Blot Point also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Backgammon's advantage is ratings volume (84K vs 202) and chart position (#159 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Backgammon sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Blot Point asks for nothing beyond the download.

Blot Point holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Backgammon has 84K ratings behind it against 202, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Blot Point's written reviews are positive against 18% of Backgammon's.
