# Find the Differences! vs Cruise

Find the Differences! and Cruise both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 84% of Find the Differences!'s written reviews are positive against 27% of Cruise's. Cruise's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Find the Differences! against 4.7 for Cruise. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.6K and 855 respectively.
