# GO Raid Party vs EthicalTCG

The clearest difference is rating: GO Raid Party at 4.8 against EthicalTCG's 3.0. GO Raid Party also leads on ratings volume (28K vs 2) and chart position (#100 vs unranked). EthicalTCG's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GO Raid Party sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and EthicalTCG sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GO Raid Party holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GO Raid Party has 28K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
