# Johnny Rocket vs Pako Highway

The clearest difference is rating: Pako Highway at 4.6 against Johnny Rocket's 3.7. Pako Highway also leads on ratings volume (694 vs 3). Johnny Rocket's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 74%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Johnny Rocket sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pako Highway sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pako Highway holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pako Highway has 694 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Johnny Rocket's written reviews are positive against 74% of Pako Highway's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
