# Pangram vs Hold To Win

The clearest difference is rating: Pangram at 4.7 against Hold To Win's 4.0. Pangram also leads on ratings volume (4.4K vs 3). Hold To Win's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and in-app purchases (none vs 6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pangram sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 2 months. Hold To Win asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pangram holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pangram has 4.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Pangram's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hold To Win's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
