# Praise Break vs Hard Time III

The clearest difference is rating: Hard Time III at 4.3 against Praise Break's 3.8. Hard Time III also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 9). Praise Break's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hard Time III sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year. Praise Break asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hard Time III holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hard Time III has 1.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Praise Break's written reviews are positive against 72% of Hard Time III's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
